Omschrijving

In "The Unreality of Time," John McTaggart Ellis McTaggart presents a groundbreaking philosophical inquiry that challenges conventional notions of time. Through a rigorous examination of temporal experience, McTaggart argues that time, as ordinarily understood, is fundamentally an illusion. Employing a dialectical style reminiscent of the British idealists, he delineates his famous distinction between the 'A-series' (the sequence of events from past to future) and the 'B-series' (the ordering of events in terms of their relations to one another). This treatise engages with contemporary philosophical discourse, positioning itself within the debates surrounding presentism and eternalism while expanding the scope of metaphysical exploration into the very nature of existence itself. John McTaggart, a prominent figure in early 20th-century philosophy, was deeply influenced by the idealist movement and the works of Hegel. His academic background at Cambridge University and his long-standing engagement with metaphysical questions informed his critical stance on temporality. McTaggart's philosophical inquiry was not merely intellectual but also reflective of his broader interest in the implications of time for human existence and consciousness. "The Unreality of Time" is essential reading for anyone intrigued by metaphysics, philosophy of time, or the complexities of human perception. McTaggart's insights provoke profound reflections on the temporal dimensions of life, making it a significant contribution to philosophical literature that invites readers to reconsider fundamental aspects of reality.
