Abstract

Abstract A number of recent attempts to explain the apparent contrast between ‘human time’ and ‘physical time’ have appealed to Hartle’s (2005) sketch of an ‘Information Gathering and Utilizing System’ (IGUS) as a model for explaining human temporal experience. I argue that they fall foul of William James’ (1890) dictum that “[a] succession of feelings, in and of itself, is not a feeling of succession”. Explaining how human beings come to represent time in the first place is a more substantive explanatory task than it is often taken to be.
表现时间的机制
最近,许多试图解释“人类时间”和“物理时间”之间的明显差异的尝试都诉诸于Hartle(2005)的“信息收集和利用系统”(IGUS)的概述,作为解释人类时间经验的模型。我认为,它们违背了威廉•詹姆斯(William James, 1890)的格言:“感情的延续,就其本身而言,并不是一种延续的感觉”。解释人类最初是如何表现时间的,是一项比通常认为的更实质性的解释任务。

期刊介绍: Timing & Time Perception aims to be the forum for all psychophysical, neuroimaging, pharmacological, computational, and theoretical advances on the topic of timing and time perception in humans and other animals. We envision a multidisciplinary approach to the topics covered, including the synergy of: Neuroscience and Philosophy for understanding the concept of time, Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence for adapting basic research to artificial agents, Psychiatry, Neurology, Behavioral and Computational Sciences for neuro-rehabilitation and modeling of the disordered brain, to name just a few. Given the ubiquity of interval timing, this journal will host all basic studies, including interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary works on timing and time perception and serve as a forum for discussion and extension of current knowledge on the topic.
