Atheneum: George Grant - Time as History (Lecture 1)

 

 

t his is the first video in a series of lectures from George Grant to go up in the Atheneum playlist. George Grant's first lecture from his CBC Massey lecture series titled "Time as History" given in 1969.

 In this lecture series, Grant takes up the crisis of the modern West as a crisis of who we are and what we are becoming. Engaging with the 

 

thought of Friedrich Nietzsche, Grant explicates the concept of time as history and argues that it is not a conception in which one can live a fully human life.
