This book examines the many faces of philosophy of time, including the metaphysical aspects, natural science issues, and the consciousness of time. It brings together the different methodologies of investigating the philosophy of time. It does so to counter the growing fragmentation of the field with regard to discussions, and the existing cleavage between analytic and continental traditions in philosophy. The book’s multidirectional approach to the notion of time contributes to a better understanding of time's metaphysical, physical and phenomenological aspects. It helps clarify the presuppositions underpinning the analytic and continental traditions in the philosophy of time and offers ways in which the differences between them can be bridged.

“Cosmological and Psychological Time is admirably successful in its aims. It brings together a variety of perspectives from a variety of traditions, united by a concern for the nature of time and our relation to it. … I recommend this collection of excellent essays to anyone interested in time or philosophy and science more broadly.” (M.
