THE CONCEPT OF TIME IN EARLY TWENTIETH-CENTURY ...

This book presents a collection of authoritative contributions on the concept of time in early
twentieth-century philosophy. It is structured in the form of a thematic atlas: each section is
accompanied by relevant elementary logic maps that reproduce in a spatial form the
directionalities (arguments and or discourses) reported on in the text. The book is divided
into three main sections  the first of which covers phenomenology and the perception of time by
analyzing the works of Bergson  Husserl  Sartre  Merleau-Ponty  Deleuze  Guattari and Derrida.
The second section focuses on the language and conceptualization of time  examining the works
of Cassirer  Wittgenstein  Heidegger  Lacan  Ricoeur and Foucault  while the last section
addresses the science and logic of time as they appear in the works of Guillaume  Einstein 
Reichenbach  Prigogine and Barbour. The purpose of the book is threefold: to provide readers
with a comprehensive overview of the concept of time in early twentieth-century philosophy  to
show how conceptual reasoning can be supported by accompanying linguistic and spatial
representations  and to stimulate novel research in the humanistic field concerning the complex
role of graphic representations in the comprehension of concepts.
