All religion and much philosophy has been concerned with the contrast between the ephemeral and the eternal. Human beings have always sought ways to overcome time, and to prove that death is not the end. This book consists then in an exploration of certain closely related ideas: personal identity, time, history and our commitment to the future, and the role of imagination in life.
Lucid exploration of central themes from science, philosophy, literature and religious ideas. Accessible and provocative discussion of the imagination and time. Warnock is a leading public figure in the UK.
