Contents:
Frontmatter -- Contents -- Foreword -- 1 Imaginative essencing in three-dimensional time -- 2 Temporality of mind and body -- 3 All movement contradictory -- 4 Antinomies in physics’ conceptions of motion in linear time -- 5 Kant on the power of imagination -- 6 Temporalogical recasting in historical time -- 7 Prolegomenary excursus on Adam Smith’s Theory of Moral Sentiments -- 8 Recasting humanness through a temporalogy of whoness -- 9 Sociation through the medium of thingified value -- 10 Bibliography -- Index
Summary: Eldred offers a remedy to the consequences of ancient Greek misconceptions of time that are also entrenched in today’s mathematized physics. Here time is spatialized as the one-dimensionally linear ‘arrow of time’ for the sake of predicting and controlling movement. But such spatialized time distorts the phenomenon of time itself. An alternative, hermeneutic-phenomenological path begins with a pre-spatial concept of time that is genuinely three-dimensional. This paves the way for recasting who we are as humans in belonging, first of all, to the free openness of 3D-temporality. This belonging enables temporally 3D-vision of the psyche that empowers us to see movement at all and reconcile its inherent contradictoriness. We are then also able to conceive ourselves no longer merely as internally cogitating, self-conscious subjects, but as engaged existentially in temporally 3D-interplay, mutually estimating and esteeming who we are. This unpredictable interplay is constrained, however, by being played out in the sociating medium of thingified value, the accumulative movement of thingified value having gained the upper hand in dictating our life-movements as well as our interplay with the earth.
