Abstract

The problem concerning the nature of time cannot be separated from the many forms of its interpretation in the history of thought… for the very character of our contemporary conception of time is but the result of a long intellectual development… Time, having no reality apart from the medium of human experience and thought, is relevant only in its various historical interpretations (p. 31)
