Our awareness of time and temporal properties is a constant feature of conscious life. Subjective temporality structures and guides every aspect of behavior and cognition, distinguishing memory, perception, and anticipation. This milestone volume brings together research on temporality from leading scholars in philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, defining a new field of interdisciplinary research.

The book's thirty chapters include selections from classic texts by William James and Edmund Husserl and new essays setting them in historical context; contemporary philosophical...

French thinkers such as Lacan and Derrida are often labelled as representatives of 'poststructuralism' in the Anglophone world.

The Anti-Oedipus Complex critically explores the post 68 dramatic developments in Freudo-Lacanian psychoanalysis and cultural theory.

The failure of social philosophers to make sense of an object of knowledge that embodies real divisions and polarities has generated a fundamental problem of social theory: the fallacy of reductive-conflationary analytical and explanatory models in sociological research.

Through an extensive critical review of the major traditions of social theory from the perspective of social realism, this...
