About this Item

Print on Demand. This book explores man's ancient debate over the true nature of time. From ancient Greece to our modern, theory-laden world, the author examines the philosophical evolution of time and its ultimate relation to change. One of the primary objectives of this book is to determine if time, as a fundamental element of our existence, is ultimately independent from other factors. The author also discusses the work of notable philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, Kant, and St. Augustine, each with varying theories on the nature of time. Overall, this book offers a thorough, thoughtful, and informative evaluation of time as a philosophical concept. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

About this title

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.
