This book is an edited collection of papers from international
experts in philosophy and psychology concerned with time. The
collection aims to bridge the gap between these disciplines by
focussing on five key themes and providing philosophical and
psychological perspectives on each theme. The first theme is the
concept of time. The discussion ranges from the folk concept of
time to the notion of time in logic, philosophy and psychology. The
second theme concerns the notion of present in the philosophy of
mind, metaphysics, and psychology. The third theme relates to
continuity and flow of time in mind. One of the key questions in
this section is how the apparent temporal continuity of conscious
experience relates to the possibly discrete character of underlying
neural processes. The fourth theme is the timing of experiences,
with a focus on the perception of simultaneity and illusions of
temporal order. Such effects are treated as test cases for
hypotheses about the relationship between the subjective temporal
order of experience and the objective order of neural events. The
fifth and the final theme of the volume is time and
intersubjectivity. This section examines the role of time in
interpersonal coordination and in the development of social skills.
The collection will appeal to both psychologists and philosophers,
but also to researchers from other disciplines who seek an
accessible overview of the research on time in psychology and
philosophy.

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.
