UPD-Cambridge Philosophy Lecture Series 2025: Living in Directionless Time (Dr. Matt Farr)

On March 31, 2025 Dr. Matt Farr delivered the first of two lectures of the UPD-Cambridge Lecture Series 2025. His talk was entitled, "Living in Directionless Time: A Lecture on Temporal Experience and the C-Series of Time". Abstract: We think of the world as directed from past to future. However, physics has provided multiple motivations for thinking of time as something fundamentally directionless, with no basic difference between earlier and later. This lecture looks at the motivations for directionless time, provides a philosophical account as to what it means for time to be directionless, and explores what a directionless picture of time means for our own experience and perspective within time. Dr. Matt Farr is an Associate Teaching Professor in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge, and Fellow of Wolfson College, Cambridge. His research focuses on the nature of time and causation, particularly the directionality of time, the role of causality in physics, and the psychology of time and causation. Matt’s research has been published in leading journals in philosophy, physics and psychology, and he is currently writing a book on the philosophy and physics of time direction. Matt received his PhD in Philosophy from the University of Bristol, and has held postdoctoral research fellowships at the University of Sydney and University of Queensland. The event was hosted by Junno Salvanera (IV BA Philosophy) and Sofia Luna (IV BA Philosophy), and moderated by Asst. Prof. Symel De Guzman-Daulat, MA.
