Opis

This text offers a history of the philosophy of time in Western philosophy from the Greeks through to the 20th century. In the first half of the book, Philip Turetzky explores theories in ancient and modern philosophy chronologically: from Aristotle to Nietzsche. In the latter half, Turetzky describes the philosophy of time in three 20th-century philosophical traditions: analytic philosophy including philosophers such as McTaggart and Mellor; phenomenology, Husserl and Heidegger; and distaff tradition which Turetzky identifies as including Bergson and Deleuze.
