{"product_id":"an-essay-on-time-norbert-elias-9781904558415","title":"An Essay on Time: Volume 9","description":"In this profound book, Elias characteristically turns an ancient philosophical question - what is time? - into a researchable theoretical-empirical problem. What we call 'time' is neither an innate property of the human mind nor an immutable quality of the 'external' world. Rather it is an achievement of the human capacity for 'synthesis', for using symbolic thought to make connections between two or more sequences of events. In the course of human social development, that capacity has itself changed and developed. It is originally written in English. Two later additional sections have been translated by Edmund Jephcott.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Norbert Elias\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1904558410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781904558415\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University College Dublin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.40w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2008 pg. 13","brand":"Norbert Elias","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45331688718591,"sku":"9781904558415","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ce45da2-4ccf-4657-a235-b5251462642b.jpg?v=1713970627","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-essay-on-time-norbert-elias-9781904558415","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
