Research of The Philosophy of Non-linear History in The Anthropocene-Centered on Historical Narratives as Archives and Formative Forces in The Strata of Memory-

Key Points

• The research aims to explore non-linear historical narratives in the context of the Anthropocene and the implications of memory strata.
• Conceptualization of memory strata as archives of human and non-human traces.
• Analysis of Walter Benjamin's philosophy of history to investigate non-linear narratives.
• Use of Chakrabarty's political temporality to examine the intersection of world-historical and geological time.
• Examination of the concept of 'residue' to assess how material remnants from capitalist processes reconstruct current living conditions.
• Reveals that material remnants are ongoing participants in present and future conditions, not mere completed events.
• Challenges linear and teleological interpretations of modern historical philosophy.
• Demonstrates the formation of memory strata archives that include classification and exclusion.
• Provides a non-linear philosophical framework suggesting that fragments in memory connect with the present.
