This book seeks to arrive at a better understanding of the
relationships between the objective and subjective aspects of time.
It discusses the existence of fluent time, a controversial concept
in many areas, from philosophy to physics. Fluent time is
understood as directional time with a past, a present and a future.
We experience fluent time in our lives and we adopt a temporal
perspective in our ways of knowing and acting. Nevertheless, the
existence of fluent time has been debated for both philosophical
and scientific reasons, thus creating a rift between the subjective
and objective aspects of time. Starting from the basic notion of
points of view, or perspectives, this book explores the
relationships between objective or external time, as it has been
conceptualized by science, and subjective or internal time, which
is involved in our lived experiences. It establishes a general
framework encompassing the nature, structure and mode of existence
of points of view, in which the objective and subjective aspects of
time can be integrated. The book mainly addresses researchers and
postgraduates in philosophy and logic. Additionally, it offers
inspiration for physicists and computer scientists involved in the
modeling and simulation of complex behaviors for which the
representation of internal time should be considered together with
the notion of objective, external time.
