 Time has long been a field of study, and Pascal Richet guides readers through the many iterations of how philosophers and scholars have understood the concept of time. I loved how Richet made a dense, long history accessible to the readers; I never felt like I was losing the narrative for how much information I needed to process. However, there were moments where I felt like there were logical leaps and I wanted a few more connecting details to understand how all of the concepts tied together under the umbrella of “time.” That said, I definitely recommend it to those interested in where the concept of time comes from and want to theorize where it might go from here.
