Excerpt from The University Studies of the University of Nebraska, Vol. 6 Before entering upon a metaphysical discussion of the nature of Time, let us ask ourselves what it is, precisely, that we are proposing to find out. In work of this sort very much turns upon a clear grasp of the problem, and of the general logical bearing of the means which we have at our command for attack ing the problem. In the particular case before us, the analysis of the place which we must assign to Time in the system of Real ity, the problem is not entirely a simple or obvious one, nor are the methods by which we can effectively cope with it clearly apparent. It is desirable, then, to consider rather closely for a few moments the general logic of the question, however extrinsic and formal it may seem. Professor Boodin has stated his problem in slightly varying forms, although with the same general meaning. In the preface (p. Iv) he says, It seemed best, however, to develop first the logical definition of the central concept [time], as the metaphys ical position largely hinges on this. In chapter I, on The nature of time, he goes at once to the heart of our subject. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
