Mysterium Zeit

In his book, Andreas Steiner traces the many attempts in human history to get to grips with the mystery of "time". He allows philosophers from ancient to modern times to have their say, consults publications by physicists in order to obtain an answer to the problem of time from the natural sciences, refers to Asian religions and philosophies and does not fail to mention consciousness researchers with a cultural science orientation. He skilfully structures the difficult philosophical topic according to the approaches of the most important historical epochs as well as thematically according to the fundamental questions in connection with time. He does this in such a convincing and understandable way that after 160 pages, readers will not even have realised how "time" has flown by.
