Abstract: In this paper, I want to explore how various aspects of time – including ways of tracking, measuring, and marking it; and models of memory and anticipation – have been used to conceptualise the relationship between human and non-human parts of nature, especially non-human cognisers. Drawing together parts of a potted history of the philosophy of time with recent discourses about the boundaries of cognition, my account will focus on three interrelated points: Firstly, that whether a particular way of thinking about time is more cyclical or more linear has had a significant bearing on how different types of organism are said to fit into it. Secondly, that temporal capacities have been a particularly important consideration in how various philosophical and scientific inquiries define cognitive complexity and delineate human from non-human cognition. And finally, that all these factors come together in contemporary discourses about the outer reaches of cognition, including debates about the models of explanation that are best suited to inquiries into which organisms should be counted as cognisers.

Bio: Marilyn Stendera is a lecturer in philosophy at the University of Wollongong. She previously taught at Deakin, Monash and the University of Melbourne, where she also completed her PhD. She works primarily in phenomenology, the philosophy of cognition, and the history of philosophy, and is particularly interested in the history, cognitive significance, and political functions of time. Her first book, Heidegger’s Alternative History of Time, was co-authored with Emily Hughes (York) and has just been published by Routledge.
