016 - Three Levels of Time

Alexandre Kojève called Hegel’s take on historical and natural time a “basic error.”  Kojève suggested three nested levels of time: historical, biological, and natural.  Did Hegel get it wrong?  The current episode explores this controversy in detail, including new evidence on whether the Big Bang was the actual start of natural time.  The Jewish Star of David’s mystical relationship to the dimensions of spacetime is also discussed.
