Abstract

In the chapters of Principe, Grana, and Giannini, the epistemological core is rooted in various aspects inherent the concept of time which rethink some classical interpretations of it—such as the relativity, the dissipative structures of dynamic systems, and the idea of time as a continuum. All these aspects develop intertwined refractions in the philosophical entanglement.
