Christopher Hudson explores the origins and nature of time, investigating the meaning of its navigation on both an individual and societal level. This book develops an interdisciplinary theory of time by resolving conflicts between historic and contemporary theories, one that clarifies the notion of time competence.
This book develops an interdisciplinary theory of time by resolving conflicts between historic and contemporary theories and clarifying the notion of time competence. Christopher Hudson explores the origins and nature of time, investigating the meaning of its navigation on both an individual and a societal level.
Drawing on Plato’s definition of time as the ‘moving image of eternity,’ Hudson advances a theory that identifies consciousness, change, and eternity as the three essential elements of time. He integrates contemporary phenomenology of the present moment, historical beliefs on consciousness, and philosophical and spiritual ideas about time into a theory that combines a variety of approaches and empirical results. Hudson argues that a comprehensive theory of time requires multiple perspectives, encompassing its objective and subjective dimensions, as well as an understanding of the timeless.
This insightful book is a valuable read for scholars and students interested in the theory of time, particularly those in the disciplines of philosophy, spirituality, psychology, and sociology.
