Description
Time's mysteries resist comprehension, and what remains once familiar metaphors are stripped away can be profound. In "Of Time and Lamentation", Raymond Tallis explores the nature and meaning of time, seeking to reclaim it from physics. Tallis critiques the spatialized account of time arising from physical science, examining the passage of time, direction of time, and time travel. He also investigates the relationship between mathematics and reality and the nature of the observer. In contrast, "Human Time" delves into tensed time, exploring what we mean by "now", how we make sense of past and future events, and the idea of eternity. By supplementing physics with a more nuanced understanding of human experience, Tallis offers a fresh perspective on time and its significance in our lives.
