Philosophical, Theological, and Literary Accounts

This volume brings together seven essays that deal with a number of key presentations of time in the history of philosophy. Best described as phenomenological studies of time, the articles here address the problems and questions of temporality as they appear in the works of thinkers of the Western philosophical tradition. The innovative approaches to understanding time that all of the essays feature are grounded in careful research. The papers were originally given at the 2015 "Phenomenology of Time" Boston College Philosophy Colloquium, and thematize philosophical accounts of time, offering avenues for thinking about the role of time in psychology, cognitive studies, physics, and education. The familiar subjects that are addressed in the pieces by Manoussakis, Gay, and Floyd offer reflections on temporality of love, death, and anxiety. Biondi’s essay elucidates the relationship between time and eternity. The more technical papers by Michael Kelly, as well as Kevin and Marina Marren, draw on such thinkers as Heidegger, Kant, and Husserl, tracing the relationship between conscious awareness of time and the role of temporality in pre-cognitive synthesis.
