(P/B) THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE OF TIME

Παρουσίαση

First published in 1975 and still without equal, The Human Experience of Time: The Development of Its Philosophic Meaning provides a thorough overview of the concept of time in the Western philosophic tradition. Encompassing a wide range of writings, from the Book of Genesis to the work of twentieth-century philosophers such as Colling-wood and McKeon, all with introductory essays by editor Charles M. Sherover, this anthology offers a synoptic view of the changing philosophic notions of time. The main traditional texts-from Heraclitus, Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, Augustine, Locke, Leibniz, Kant, and Hegel-appear here alongside offerings from Lotze, Bergson, McTaggart, Russell, Reichenbach, Peirce, Dewey, Heidegger, and others.
This volume is not only a historical overview but also a dialectical analysis displaying the diverse approaches to the continuing philosophic exploration of time. (from the publisher)
"Very ambitious... no ordinary anthology... [I]f it takes the work of many disciplines to explore the meaning of time, as Prof. McKeon reminds us in the concluding section, then this will be a book to go to in order to hear the philosopher's side of the story."
(International Philosophical Quarterly)
"A long needed book, which will be widely welcomed and used. It is unique in its scope and in the sympathetic intelligence of its exposition... [Sherover's] remarks are lucid, exhibiting his rare balance and flexibility as both advocate for and critic of the authors, who are otherwise allowed to speak for themselves."
(Review of Metaphysics)
