What is Time? Lesson in philosophy

Josef Krob

The second volume of the popular science “Munice” series leads us into the labyrinth of a philosophical questioning about TIME. Led by the thoughts of a number of great philosophers, from Aristotle to Prigogin, we reach eventually the inevitable intersection: time is either the most important element in the universe, or it does not exist at all.

The author of the book, Professor Josef Krob, works at the Department of Philosophy of the Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University, and he has a long-term interest in the issues of time, space and meaning. Once again, his text is interwoven with the distinctive illustrations of Nikola Kalinová.
