Through original speculations on the surprisingly complementary
concepts of simultaneity and delay, and new interpretations of the
great philosophers of time, this book proposes an innovative theory
of staggered time. In the early 20th Century, Bergson and Husserl
(following Einstein) made Simultaneity-what it means for events to
occur at the same time-a central motif in philosophy.In the late
20th Century, Derrida and Deleuze instead emphasized Delay-events
staggered over distant times.This struggle between convergent and
staggered time also plays out in 20th Century aesthetics
(especially music), politics, and the sciences. Despite their
importance in the history of philosophy, this is the first book to
comprehensively examine the concepts of simultaneity and delay.By
putting simultaneity and delay into a dialectical relation, this
book argues that time in general is organized by elastic rhythms.
Lampert's concepts describe the time-structures of such diverse
phenomena as atonal music, political decision-making, neuronal
delays, leaps of memory and the boredom of waiting; and
simultaneities and delays in everyday experience and behaviour.
