• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Time" is the only book that offers a comprehensive history of the philosophy of time in western philosophy from the Greeks through the 20th century. Philip Turetzky explores theories in ancient and modern philosophy chronologically, from Aristotle to Nietzsche. He then describes the philosophy of time in three 20th century philosophical traditions: analytic philosophy, phenomenology and the distaff tradition. The book compares and contrasts the way these traditions treat time in regard to appearances, empiricism, existence, privileged ontological relations, and pragmatic concerns. "Time" will be an intriguing and enlightening read for anyone who has wondered about the nature of time.
