The Weirdness of Being in Time: Aristotle, Hegel, and Plants

In this short text, I analyze various senses of being in time. My claim is that time forms a weird interiority through an embrace of whatever is "in" it. I, then, flesh out this claim through a close reading of Book IV in Aristotle's Physics, while grafting each "measure of movement," through which the Greek philosopher defines time, onto the movements of plants. The result is a twisting and turning, ramified, wayward temporality that holds every sense of being in time in a vegetal embrace.
