Abstract

These papers were read and discussed at a special symposium on Timekeepers and Time, sponsored by the Bulova Watch Company, Inc., and held in connection with the Second Conference of the Inter­national Society for the Study of Time. To appreciate fully the significance of these invited papers, I would like to place their themes in the perspective of the larger enterprise of which they are part, namely, that of the study of time.
