The Philosophy of Time: v. 38 (Problems in Contemporary Philosophy S.) - Hardcover

Studying the concept of time as it is experienced in human intuition, this work also attempts to capture time in an epistemological form. It examines proposals to interpret time from a mathematical approach or from the perspective of the physical sciences with reference to investigations by Adolf Grunbaum and W.H. Newton-Smith. In addition it offers a brief treatment of Kant's theory of time. The main themes of the book are: the origin of time; the nature of time; the direction of time; time and identity; time and ontology; time as principle; the geometricization of time; the metric of time; and the disappearance of time.
