Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to outline a method for grounding our understanding of scholarly processes in our lived experience of time. I begin by tracking the importance of time in Kantian epistemology, which has had outsized importance in Western academic understanding for several centuries. I then shift the focus of the project away from epistemology towards ontology and lived experience, using Heidegger's early and late works to inform the discussion of the problematic nature of privileging epistemology. Finally, I try to use phenomenology to track the implications of this shift for a radical pedagogy which includes marginalized bodies, and apply the repsective reflections to a case study in Algebraic Number Theory.
