ABSTRACT

At face value, there are two kinds of time: physical time and inner time. The first is the linear sequence of moments given by the clock we live by, and the other is what we live in. Both are valid as sources of facts and of scientific investigation. The first gives rise to well-developed physical theories; the other, to human temporality, centered on the present and manifesting as a threefold unity of the just-past and the about-to-occur…. Perceived temporality is not simply isomorphic to linear time.
