Abstract:

This book explores the time that we (think we) experience and the
concept of time in our beliefs, our knowledge, and our fears. We
believe that time passes, we know that death is inevitable, we fear
that we are going to be late. How do these human feelings and
sensations of time relate to metaphysical time of tenseless reality?
What do different languages tell us about the nature of human time?
And what exactly is the flow of time? The chapters in this volume
bring together insights from linguists and philosophers to examine
questions about time on the micro-level of physical reality, as well
as time in language and discourse on the macro-level of social
reality. The unifying theme is that in order to understand human time
we have to discover not only how we think and speak about time, but
also what it is that makes us  think and speak about it in a certain
way.
