{"product_id":"how-time-passes-thomas-sattig-9780198929161","title":"How Time Passes","description":"Time organizes things in a dynamic fashion, whereas space organizes things in a static fashion-so things in time undergo passage, whereas things in space do not. What makes the temporal organization of things dynamic? What is the nature of the passage of time? Traditional discussions of passage have taken one of two perspectives. Some philosophers start with passage as a phenomenon that occurs in the physical world. They ask what constitutes this objective phenomenon. Theirs is a project in metaphysics and the foundations of physics. Others begin with passage as a phenomenon that is given in our experiences of the world. They ask what constitutes this subjective phenomenon. Theirs is a project in philosophy of mind and cognitive science. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eHow Time Passes\u003c\/em\u003e, Thomas Sattig gives both perspectives on passage equal weight. The first part of the book concerns the existence and nature of physical passage. The second part is concerned with the existence and nature of experiential passage. In both parts, the standard kind of explanation of passage is juxtaposed with a new kind of explanation. On the \u003cem\u003etripartite approach\u003c\/em\u003e, which has dominated classical and contemporary philosophy of time, the denizens of time undergo passage, in virtue of changing with respect to what is past, what is present, and what is future. On the \u003cem\u003egeometrical approach\u003c\/em\u003e, the denizens of time undergo passage, in virtue of being temporally organized in a manner that does not involve the holding of any geometrical relations between them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Sattig\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198929161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198929161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/24\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.42w x 0.84d","brand":"Thomas Sattig","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46962461573375,"sku":"9780198929161","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c2bc0fe9-bd69-41e5-a51b-8571df65e252.jpg?v=1750651502","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-time-passes-thomas-sattig-9780198929161","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
