Abstract:

Many physical theories suggest that time does not pass, yet
temporality deeply permeates our experience. We perceive change and
movement, we are aware of living in the present, of the constant flux
of our sensations and thoughts, and of time itself flowing. In
Temporal Experience, Torrengo considers the core facts of temporal
experience and their interconnections, ultimately defending the
atomist dynamic model of temporal experience.

The book critically examines prevalent theories of experience of
change, succession, and passage of time both in philosophy and
psychology. Each chapter contributes to the construction of the
atomist dynamic model. Experience of change and movement are explained
through mental events that present virtually instantaneous movement
and change. Torrengo challenges the common belief in the perception of
'presentness' and proposes an error theory based on narrative
cognition. The experience of succession is elucidated through the
concept of an overarching phenomenology, arguing against the tendency
to overstate the phenomenal continuity of experience. Finally, the
experience of the passage of time is approached through the
non-representationalist theory of the phenomenal modifier, and the
book concludes by discussing the surprising consequences of applying
the experiential model defended to the scientific image of our
existence in time as a sequence of physical events.
