Review
“It would be superfluous to point out that the questions raised by Giacomo Marramao […] are topical and important, and affect our daily lives directly […] Marramao introduces us to this important perspective for our future in a book that is, in terms of its philosophical and epistemological implications, a sweeping history of time.”
Federico Vercellone, La Stampa
“His philological approach enables Marramao to cohere the study of temporal multitudes around the concept of kairós and materialises in a wide-ranging and, at once, theoretical and practical-political investigation […]
This important book could not have been revised and republished at a better moment: namely that of the suspended time of a pandemic that has confronted us with the fatal consequences of ‘out of point’, ‘off-kilter’ human time in all their terrible grandeur.”
Il Sole 24 Ore
“The death of time, the time of life and the time of the world, interdependence with space, experience (and its expropriation) – the themes of contemporaneity set out by the philosopher in a new edition that further enhances his ‘trilogy on temporality’.”

Description
Giacomo Marramao wrote a radical groundbreaking essay. An exploration of time and space to discover the paradoxes of the western philosophical tradition and of our time. In this revised edition, Giacomo Marramao embarks on an exploration of time and analyses its paradoxical feature: namely its inconceivability outside spatial representations. From Plato to Bergson, from Aristotle to Leibniz, from Nietzsche to Foucault, from Baudelaire to Benjamin, Marramao deconstructs the traditional philosophical approach by positing a “perspective de-angulation” with respect to the conceptualisation of time, and resorting to the languages of art and science. Central to this now classic pamphlet is its radical criticism of Heidegger, who sees time merely as a repetition of Being. What Marramao claims – and explains with arguments of rare lucidity – is the concreteness of human experience. That is, the peculiar characteristic of time is not possibility and prediction but rather in its perspective dimension, a specific vision of a concrete aspect of the world.
