Time And The Human Condition

We are constantly bombarded by information and it is difficult to synthesize any of it into understanding - we get distracted by entertainment, by consumer culture, or by pre-packaged sets of ideas suited to mental laziness. The author offers a valuable examination of time, perspective and our ability to understand, so as to reveal steps we can take to solve some of the more vexing problems of our modern world. In the process, light is shed on the nature of time, the affect of our views of the afterlife on our conduct, how our perspective gives structure to life, as well as how our sense of time can affect our attitudes on stress and love. A thoughtfully provoking and informative work on social philosophy.
