The Asymmetric Nature of TimeIntroduction

The Asymmetric Nature of Time: Introduction [In this introduction, my aim is threefold. First, I situate the present book in the vast landscape of the philosophy of time. Against powerful traditions of thought, I argue that a perspicuous philosophical account of time can only be obtained through the reconciliation of the manifest image of the world and contemporary science. Second, I introduce the book’s primary objective, namely to account for the intuitive asymmetry between the ‘open future’ and the ‘fixed past’, and contrast it with some current forms of skepticism brought by science. Third, I outline the three-phase structure of the book – characterization, modeling, reconciliation – and expose the main expected results.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[In this introduction, my aim is threefold. First, I situate the present book in the vast landscape of the philosophy of time. Against powerful traditions of thought, I argue that a perspicuous philosophical account of time can only be obtained through the reconciliation of the manifest image of the world and contemporary science. Second, I introduce the book’s primary objective, namely to account for the intuitive asymmetry between the ‘open future’ and the ‘fixed past’, and contrast it with some current forms of skepticism brought by science. Third, I outline the three-phase structure of the book – characterization, modeling, reconciliation – and expose the main expected results.]
