What if there is no such thing as a real passage of time? What differences would this idea make for our conception of the world and of our lives in the world? Donald A. Crosby’s Primordial Time: Its Irreducible Reality, Human Significance, and Ecological Import defends the objective, underived reality of time and its crucial existential significance on the basis of the essential role of the qualitative, inner experiences of the passage of time and with a variety of other scientific and philosophical arguments concerning time. He also explores the urgent reality of time in relation to the ecological crisis of our day.

"Donald Crosby’s latest book is an elegant philosophical essay on the nature of time as the ground of nature and value. Through accessible philosophical reflection and interdisciplinary engagement with physicists and cosmologists, Crosby argues that the flowing of time is real, irrepressible, and primordial, rather than illusory, cyclical, or contingent. Through phenomenological analysis and existential reflection, he shows how the unyielding surge of time is essential to understanding why our lives feel the way they do—why we care about anything, why we mourn and grieve. Finally, in a time of ecological emergency, in which we may be running out of time, Crosby’s book calls upon us to recognize the fierce timeliness of our responsibilities.”
