Abstract

New York University Press has been publishing a series of studies on the nature and meaning of time, under the general heading of "Time and Its Mysteries." So far three series of discussions have appeared. There have been some rather good studies of the making of watches and of time as pertinent to science, history and anthropology. Philosophy has been represented by John Dewey. No attention has as yet been paid to the metaphysical and cosmological aspects of time. An historical survey of major philosophic views would also be of value.
