As a growing area of research, the philosophy of time is
increasingly relevant to different areas of philosophy and even
other disciplines. This book describes and evaluates the most
important debates in philosophy of time, under several subject
areas: metaphysics, epistemology, physics, philosophy of language,
philosophy of mind, cognitive science, rationality, and art.
Questions this book investigates include the following. Can we know
what time really is? Is time possible, especially given modern
physics? Must there be time because we cannot think without it?
What do we experience of time? How might philosophy of time be
relevant to understanding the mind-body relationship or evidence in
cognitive science? Can the philosophy of time help us understand
biases toward the future and the fear of death? How is time
relevant to art-and is art relevant to philosophical debates about
time? Finally, what exactly could time travel be? And could time
travel satisfy emotions such as nostalgia and regret? Through
asking such questions, and showing how they might be best answered,
the book demonstrates the importance philosophy of time has in
contemporary thought. Each of the book's ten chapters begins with a
helpful introduction and ends with study questions and an annotated
list of further reading. This and a comprehensive bibliography at
the end of the book prepare the reader to go further in their study
of the philosophy of time.

This book explores the important yet neglected relationship between
the philosophy of time and the temporal structure of perceptual
experience. It examines how time structures perceptual experience
and, through that structuring, the ways in which time makes
perceptual experience trustworthy or erroneous. Sean Power argues
that our understanding of time can determine our understanding of
perceptual experience in relation to perceptual structure and
perceptual error. He examines the general conditions under which an
experience may be sorted into different kinds of error such as
illusions, hallucinations, and anosognosia. Power also argues that
some theories of time are better than others at giving an account
of the structure and errors of perceptual experience. He makes the
case that tenseless theory and eternalism more closely correspond
to experience than tense theory and presentism. Finally, the book
includes a discussion of the perceptual experience of space and how
tenseless theory and eternalism can better support the problematic
theory of naive realism. Philosophy of Time and Perceptual
Experience originally illustrates how the metaphysics of time can
be usefully applied to thinking about experience in general. It
will appeal to those interested in the philosophy of time and
debates about the trustworthiness of experience.

This edited collection presents the latest cutting-edge research in
the philosophy and cognitive science of temporal illusions.
Illusion and error have long been important points of entry for
both philosophical and psychological approaches to understanding
the mind. Temporal illusions, specifically, concern a fundamental
feature of lived experience, temporality, and its relation to a
fundamental feature of the world, time, thus providing invaluable
insight into investigations of the mind and its relationship with
the world. The existence of temporal illusions crucially challenges
the naive assumption that we can simply infer the temporal nature
of the world from experience. This anthology gathers eighteen
original papers from current leading researchers in this subject,
covering four broad and interdisciplinary topics: illusions of
temporal passage, illusions and duration, illusions of temporal
order and simultaneity, and the relationship between temporal
illusions and the cognitive representation of time.
