Doing Valuable Time explores the human concern with expending our
life's time well. We pursue what we take to be valuable, strive to
live meaningfully, judge whether our present circumstances are good
enough, and have standards for what we are willing to take an
interest in. Doing valuable time, however, is not an easy task.
Expending time on big, important life-projects often entails lots
of little time expenditures on the seemingly meaningless, and our
ability to take an interest in our own futures is fragile. our
present circumstances often leaves us with endless opportunities
for discontent-too much spare time, too much of the same thing all
of the time, or too much time stuck in stalled projects. Doing
Valuable Time is a book about the difficulties we face in achieving
valuable time and the interest-and disinterest-we take in our own
present and future. Professor Cheshire Calhoun explores the
implications of using time well in order to achieve the
unachievable: living a meaningful life. Through seven chapters of
rigorous philosophical inquiry and compelling practical insights,
Calhoun explains the motivating interest we take in our future, and
how hope sustains activities that are likely to fail. Doing
Valuable Time shows the value of committing ourselves to having a
particular future, and the possibilities for finding contentment
with the imperfect present.
