Temporality

Abstract

Temporality has served as a keyword to release the concept of time from the confines of a physicalist conception, to account for the plural ways time is realized in nature and human culture, and to tie it back to issues of human individual and social existence. This chapter traces the history and plural uses of the concept between Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, and J.T. Fraser in order to elucidate its potential for the study of the future.
