Time, Duration and Change

More about the book

Exploring the interplay between time and movement, this study delves into the philosophical debates initiated by Zeno's paradoxes and critiqued by Henri Bergson, who distinguished between objective and subjective understandings of time. It examines Hegel's dialectical approach, where time is integral to movement and change, and Cassirer's philosophy of symbolic forms, which links perceptions of time to social processes. The book evaluates these contrasting perspectives, aiming to illuminate their implications for European philosophical thought on time and movement.
