From Robert Grosseteste to Jean-Francois Lyotard, Augustine's
suggestion that time is a "dilation of the soul" (distentio animi)
has been taken up as a seminal and controversial time-concept, yet
in The Space of Time, David van Dusen argues that this 'dilation'
has been fundamentally misinterpreted. Time in Confessions XI is a
dilation of the senses-in beasts, as in humans. And Augustine's
time-concept in Confessions XI is not Platonic-but in schematic
terms, Epicurean. Identifying new influences on the
Confessions-from Aristoxenus to Lucretius-while keeping Augustine's
phenomenological interpreters in view, The Space of Time is a
path-breaking work on Confessions X to XII and a ranging
contribution to the history of the concept of time.
