The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Temporal Experience is an outstanding reference source to the key debates in this exciting subject area and represents the first collection of its kind. Comprising nearly 30 chapters by a team of international contributors, the Handbook is organized into seven clear parts:
Ancient and early modern perspectivesNineteenth and early twentieth-century perspectivesThe structure of temporal experienceTemporal experience and the philosophy of mindTemporal experience and metaphysicsEmpirical perspectives Aesthetics
Within each part, key topics concerning temporal experience are examined, including canonical figures such as Locke, Kant and Husserl; extensionalism, retentionalism and the specious present; interrelations between temporal experience and time, agency, dreaming, and the self; empirical theories of perceiving and attending to time; and temporal awareness in the arts including dance, music and film.
The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Temporal Experience is essential reading for students and researchers of philosophy of mind and psychology. It is also extremely useful for those in related fields such as metaphysics, phenomenology and aesthetics, as well as for psychologists and cognitive neuroscientists.
"If time and experience are a mystery then what chance is there for us to understand temporal experience? This volume certainly raises the chances. The editor's introduction is a fine a map through the territory, there is - finally - a lot on temporal experience and the arts, and we see philosophy and the sciences of mind come together in a convincing engagement across the disciplines. If, like me, you despaired of scaling the walls of fortress temporal experience, this is the book for you." - Greg Currie, University of York, UK
