Exploring the Mystery of Time
September 6 – 12, 2018
with Julian Barbour, Mauro Bergonzi, Warwick Fox, Christopher Hauke, Alison MacLeod, James Peat Barbieri, Hester Reeve, Shantena Sabbadini, David Schrum and Gordon Shippey
What is time? It is at the same time what is closest to us and the deepest mystery. So close we cannot step outside it and watch it from a distance. And actually, when we attempt to do so, the notion of time itself seems to fade away, to dissolve into timelessness, where past, present and future merge into an eternal instant.
In this Pari Dialogue we will plumb the mystery of time from different perspectives: art, science, psychology, literature, mystical experience. Our aim will not be so much to try to answer the impossible question, as to awaken to the awesome fact of the transient, terrible, marvelous, phenomenon that is life itself.
