Synopsis
The book has two purposes, a negative one and a positive one, which are complementary. The negative one is to challenge the 'hijacking' of time in popular versions of modern mathematical and scientific thought, which have tended to push out of the picture views of time which do not 'fit in' with modern physics. The second purpose is to show how, by supplementing, or sometimes overriding, the scientific perspective, a wider understanding is reached. Time cannot be described in terms of its measurement alone.

À propos de l'auteur
Jolyon Trimminham studied Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Oxford University as a mature student, and wrote his undergraduate thesis on Henri Bergson's 'Time and Free Will'. Ten years later he went to Paris to study philosophy at the Sorbonne. Outside of his career as a technical writer, which has taken him all over Europe, Jolyon has found time to restore an open-air Regency swimming pool in Bath, launch a successful bid to save a hill top lake in Yorkshire from being drained, and stood as the Green Party parliamentary candidate for Dover in 2015.

Etat : Paperback in new condition. First edition. 197 pages. Approaches time as a phenomenon which is not the property of any particular discipline, and uses this eclecticism to move towards an understanding of time that unites and transcends narrower perspectives. Philosophy, cosmology, physics, psychology, film, art, sex, mysticism, music and everyday life are all here and given equal value. In this manner it stands apart from most other books about Time. His objective, which to a large extent he achieves, is to describe a paradigm of time which is a synthesis of modern science, ancient wisdom and common sense. N° de réf. du vendeur 24297

paperback. Etat : Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
