Monograph

2024

This volume shows why it is misleading to view time as an object, exploring the insights that can be gained from analogies between sequences and by comparing event timings. Incorporating extensive references to music and, more broadly, to the act of listening provides illuminating glimpses into these fundamental structural properties of reality.

Transdisciplinary analysis of the significance of temporal patterns and the timing of actions
Music as an exemplary context for learning important things about time
Plea for a revaluation of listening in philosophy and everyday life
