Synopsis

Explore how time shapes our inner life and how two great philosophers vie over what time really is.

This concise scholarly work surveys major ideas about time, duration, and change, weighing Kant against Bergson and Eucken as it asks whether time is a universal feature of experience or a contingent construction of the mind.

What you’ll get from this edition:
  • A clear map of the time problem in modern philosophy
  • Accessible discussions of concepts like duration, time-transcendence, and the relation of time to knowledge
  • A critical look at how different thinkers frame the role of time in human life and experience
  • Practical notes on how the theories relate to broader questions in philosophy of mind and metaphysics
  • A comparative treatment that highlights where agreement and disagreement lie between major figures
Ideal for readers of philosophy who want a focused introduction to the debate on time and a sense of where current discussions stand.
