ABSTRACT

There is a growing recognition in the field of gerontology that the problems and ideas of time that have confronted thinkers. In their references to Bergson, Hendricks and Hendricks claim that Bergson maintained that man experiences a continuous flow of time. The Pulsational-Wave Model will help us explicitly to recognize the first dilemma and implicitly help with the second. Heisenberg's Indeterminacy Principle and Wave/Corpuscle model of particles have led to much debate concerning whether or not the indeterminacy or the paradoxical constitution of particles yield a metaphysical or an epistemological conundrum. The 'cultural bias' that leads to a need to identify discontinuity or discreteness with experience can be found in Piaget's work concerning the development of temporal concepts in youth. Manuel in his book, Shapes of Philosophical History, utilizes a common classification of time. The author illustrates his point by drawing some references from Fraisse's Psychology of Time.
