Abstract

I have three aims in this paper. First, to consider the temporal way in which we conceptualise extinction. Second, to argue that our colloquial notion of time is in certain ways inadequate so far as said consideration goes. And third, in light of a different model of temporality better suited to thinking about extinction, to ask: what do we do now?
