Focusing on the issue of temporality as a lens through which to
view philosophical positions, this study critiques the assumptions
of thinkers who have shaped the contours of the modern
philosophical landscape. Rosenthal (philosophy, Loyola U.) presents
the pervasive Western view of time as discrete in Part I (featuring
the metaphysics of Whitehead, Weiss, Derrida, and McTaggart); and
in Part II, its implicit rejection by Heidegger. The author then
reconstructs time based on classical American pragmatism, drawing
on Mead's understanding of selfhood and ideas of community by
Rawls, MacIntyre, and Rorty.
