Our experience of time is anything but uniform and is something we can experience in profoundly different ways. In this conversation on Measured Time with philosopher Kristie Miller and content creator Aslan Pahari we examine how different beings perceive time.

We explore the patterns through which humans make sense of time, and how cultures develop different ways of orienting themselves in relation to past and future. We trace how memory and imagination work together and how our preferences toward what has been or what is coming quietly shape the choices we make every day.

Set against Sydney Observatory’s timeless backdrop, On Time is a Powerhouse series exploring the philosophy of time. Across four conversations journalist Rachael Hocking engages with leading thinkers to examine how time governs our world by measuring moments, defining cycles and shaping our deepest sense of self.
