First published in 1968, The Language of Time clarifies certain large-scale features of ordinary or common-sense concept of time by using linguistic analysis or ordinary language philosophy. The author does so by studying the language of time in its everyday employment. The book is divided into four parts. Part one explores McTaggart’s paradox and the language of time. Part two is devoted to A-Determinations and B-Relations and discusses the most central issue separating the A and B theories—the relation between tensed and tenseless discourse. Part three examines the logical asymmetries between the Past and the Future and Part four deals with the concept of temporal becoming. This book will be of interest to students and researchers of philosophy.
