More about the book
The study examines the profound significance of time in modern society, particularly within contemporary Western culture. It explores how attitudes toward time are influenced by the historical concepts of purgatory, arguing that the American perception of time scarcity reflects a deeper social character shaped by a 'purgatorial complex.' Fenn's analysis challenges readers to reconsider their relationship with time and its implications on social behavior and identity.
