The experience of time »The experience of timeThe experience of time☜This branch of the map considers the phenomenology of time - the various ways in which time presents itself directly to our consciousness. Why do we think time has the features indicated by the passage view? The answers will hopefully enable us to connect the phenomenological to the physical.☜FFB597

Two other time asymmetries »Two other time asymmetriesTwo other time asymmetries☜In addition to the standard passage view components, two additional asymmetries are addressed in this part of the map. These are the asymmetry of concern - we are much more concerned about the future than the past; and asymmetry of agency - we feel we can influence the future, but not the past.☜FFB597
