商品簡介
This volume of essays explores ideas of time and the measure of time, looking at how these vary and interact across disciplines, from J. T. Fraser's hierarchical theory of time to phenomenology, considering Thoreau alongside Husserl and Merleau-Ponty, to the influence of a garden on Leibniz, to chronobiology and a consideration of postmodern, probabilistic measures of time. We look as well at human measures of time in Kazakh musical storytelling and medieval Japanese legend and turn finally to prose-poetry, video installation, and moving image art, along with considerations of Graham Swift and Ted Chiang's modern novelistic explorations of time's measure.
