Download or read book Subjective Time written by Valtteri Arstila and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 687 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interdisciplinary perspectives on the feature of conscious life that scaffolds every act of cognition: subjective time. Our awareness of time and temporal properties is a constant feature of conscious life. Subjective temporality structures and guides every aspect of behavior and cognition, distinguishing memory, perception, and anticipation. This milestone volume brings together research on temporality from leading scholars in philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, defining a new field of interdisciplinary research. The book's thirty chapters include selections from classic texts by William James and Edmund Husserl and new essays setting them in historical context; contemporary philosophical accounts of lived time; and current empirical studies of psychological time. These last chapters, the larger part of the book, cover such topics as the basic psychophysics of psychological time, its neural foundations, its interaction with the body, and its distortion in illness and altered states of consciousness.

Download or read book Time and Temporality in Organisations written by Kätlin Pulk and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-02-14 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an overview of different approaches to and understandings of time and temporality in organization studies. It explores the development of time and temporality studies within organisation studies, and examines its interdisciplinarity and roots in philosophy. From there, it moves to discuss more recent concerns in the field, including the agency of time and temporal agency of human actors, the temporal orientation of activities, temporal trajectories, sustainability, and an events-based view of time. It will be useful reading for academics of organisational studies and the philosophy of business.

Download or read book Temporal Points of View written by Margarita Vázquez Campos and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-08-14 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to arrive at a better understanding of the relationships between the objective and subjective aspects of time. It discusses the existence of fluent time, a controversial concept in many areas, from philosophy to physics. Fluent time is understood as directional time with a past, a present and a future. We experience fluent time in our lives and we adopt a temporal perspective in our ways of knowing and acting. Nevertheless, the existence of fluent time has been debated for both philosophical and scientific reasons, thus creating a rift between the subjective and objective aspects of time. Starting from the basic notion of points of view, or perspectives, this book explores the relationships between objective or external time, as it has been conceptualized by science, and subjective or internal time, which is involved in our lived experiences. It establishes a general framework encompassing the nature, structure and mode of existence of points of view, in which the objective and subjective aspects of time can be integrated. The book mainly addresses researchers and postgraduates in philosophy and logic. Additionally, it offers inspiration for physicists and computer scientists involved in the modeling and simulation of complex behaviors for which the representation of internal time should be considered together with the notion of objective, external time.

Download or read book Measuring the Subjective Well-Being of Nations written by Alan B. Krueger and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-11-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surely everyone wants to know the source of happiness, and indeed, economists and social scientists are increasingly interested in the study and effects of subjective well-being. Putting forward a rigorous method and new data for measuring, comparing, and analyzing the relationship between well-being and the way people spend their time—across countries, demographic groups, and history—this book will help set the agenda of research and policy for decades to come. It does so by introducing a system of National Time Accounting (NTA), which relies on individuals’ own evaluations of their emotional experiences during various uses of time, a distinct departure from subjective measures such as life satisfaction and objective measures such as the Gross Domestic Product. A distinguished group of contributors here summarize the NTA method, provide illustrative findings about well-being based on NTA, and subject the approach to a rigorous conceptual and methodological critique that advances the field. As subjective well-being is topical in economics, psychology, and other social sciences, this book should have cross-disciplinary appeal.

Download or read book Understanding Human Time written by Kasia M. Jaszczolt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-05-02 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the time that we (think we) experience and the concept of time in our beliefs, our knowledge, and our fears. We believe that time passes, we know that death is inevitable, we fear that we are going to be late. How do these human feelings and sensations of time relate to metaphysical time of tenseless reality? What do different languages tell us about the nature of human time? And what exactly is the flow of time? The chapters in this volume bring together insights from linguists and philosophers to examine questions about time on the micro-level of physical reality, as well as time in language and discourse on the macro-level of social reality. The unifying theme is that in order to understand human time we have to discover not only how we think and speak about time, but also what it is that makes us think and speak about it in a certain way.
