Conceptions of Time in Greek and Roman Antiquity

Edited by: Richard Faure, Simon-Pierre Valli and Arnaud Zucker
book: Conceptions of Time in Greek and Roman Antiquity

This collection of articles is an important milestone in the history of the study of time conceptions in Greek and Roman Antiquity. It spans from Homer to Neoplatonism. Conceptions of time are considered from different points of view and sources. Reflections on time were both central and various throughout the history of ancient philosophy. Time was a topic, but also material for poets, historians and doctors. Importantly, the contributions also explore implicit conceptions and how language influences our thought categories.
