The Experience and Perception of Time (Stanford Encyclopedia of First published Mon Aug 28, 2000; substantive revision Tue Nov 17, 2009 We see colours, hear sounds and feel textures. Some aspects of the world, it seems, are perceived through a particular sense. Time perception raises a number of intriguing puzzles, including what it means to say we perceive time. What is ‘the perception of time’? The very expression ‘the perception of time’ invites objection. Kinds of temporal experience There are a number of what Ernst Pöppel (1978) calls ‘elementary time experiences’, or fundamental aspects of our experience of time. Duration One of the earliest, and most famous, discussions of the nature and experience of time occurs in the autobiographical Confessions of St Augustine. Augustine's answer to this riddle is that what we are measuring, when we measure the duration of an event or interval of time, is in the memory. The inference model may be plausible enough when we are dealing with distant events, but rather less so for much more recent ones.

grimmtmp from cmu.edu - StumbleUpon This book contains 209 tales collected by the brothers Grimm. The exact print source is unknown. The etext appears to be based on the translation by Margaret Hunt called Grimm's Household Tales, but it is not identical to her edition. (Some of the translations are slightly different, the arrangement also differs, and the Grimm's scholarly notes are not included.) The etext received by the Universal Library did not include story titles. Note that these tales are presented more or less as the Grimms collected and edited them (and as Hunt saw fit to translate them). NEW: There is now a more accurate version of the Hunt translation posted by William Barker.

Time [The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] Time is what we use a clock or calendar to measure. It provides us with a measure of change by putting dates on moments, fixing the durations of events, and specifying which events happen before which other events. Yet despite 2,500 years of investigating time, many issues about it are unresolved. Consider this one issue upon which philosophers are deeply divided: What sort of ontological differences are there among the present, the past and the future? There are three competing theories. That controversy raises the issue of tenseless versus tensed theories of time. Table of Contents 1. Philosophers of time tend to divide into two broad camps on some of the key philosophical issues, although many philosophers do not fit into these pigeonholes. However, there are many other issues about time whose solutions do not fit into one or the other of the above two camps. A full theory of time should address this constellation of philosophical issues about time. 2. St. 3. a.

You Are Dreaming Culture & pleasure Alterati We’ve been through a lot of ups and sideways with this site. Luckily we’ve had no real downs with the exception of one. We’ve been pursued by the torrent police, accused by conspiranoia geeks of all sorts of shenanigans and high weirdness, gone through two format changes, added and subtracted several shows, hit some home runs, triples, doubles and singles. Times have changed and changed drastically. Alterati.com will be archived and merged into Incunabula/Greylodge by the end of this month. We’re merging sites for editorial reasons. We’ve had a blast serving up nuggets of alternative goodness and will be continuing to do so on the new Inc/GL site into the foreseeable future. From all of us, to all of you, thanks for all the link love, traffic, and wonderful letters full of tips and kudos.
