Time, Temporality, Now Experiencing Time and Concepts of Time in an Interdisciplinary Perspective
The essays in this topical volume inquire into one of the most fundamental issues of philosophy and the cognitive and natural sciences: the riddle of time. The central feature is the tension between the experience and the conceptualization of time, reflecting an apparently unavoidable antinomy of su...
