Perahps time is the greatest mystery -- Part one: The crumbling of time (1. Loss of unity ; 2. Loss of direction ; 3. The end of the present ; 4. Loss of independence ; 5. Quanta of time) -- Part two: The world without time (6. The world is made of events, not things ; 7. The inadequacy of grammar ; 8. Dynamics as relation) -- Part three: The sources of time (9. Time is ignorance ; 10. Perspective ; 11. What emerges from a particularity ; 12. The scent of the madeleine ; 13. The sources of time) -- The sister of sleep.
Why do we remember the past and not the future? Do we inhabit time or does time inhabit us? What does it mean that time "flies by?" Where does it go when it flies? This transformative, enchanting book will completely change the way we think about time.
