The Arrow of Time
The Arrow of Time ☜A map exploring some issues concerning the nature of time that lie at the boundary of physics and philosophy. The map follows up a talk to the Blackheath Philosophy Forum on 2 April 2011 by Huw Price, Professor of Philosophy and director of the Center for Time at Sydney University.☜F1CEB7

The experience of time
The 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 asymmetries
Two 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
