Follow on Google News | ![]() Reimagining the Future A Phenomenology of Cross-Temporal Presence, Volume Three By G.V. LoewenBy: Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Company In this, the final volume of G.V. Loewen's phenomenological trilogy concerning how we experience the understanding of temporality in our lives, the very feeling of time passing, time lost, and time to come, it is the question of the future that animates its closing analyses. At once feared and desired, heralded and cautioned against, the future presents a challenge to human consciousness simply because it is, from the perspective of the present, both unknown and unknowable. It also cannot be located in the past, and not for any paradoxical reason; the past does after all contain hints of what is to come. What is at issue is how to locate such moments and attempt to gain some insight from them. The meaning of the future can be said to be included in a human experience that does not close itself off to what it already imagines it knows, but at the same time must not presume to take the future into its own inevitably narrow embrace. About the Author: Social philosopher G.V. Loewen is the author of over fifty books on ethics, education, aesthetics, health, and social theory, and more recently, fiction. He was a professor of the interdisciplinary human sciences for over two decades. Publisher's Website www.sbprabooks.com/ End
