{"product_id":"9781472524775","title":"Simultaneity and Delay : A Dialectical Theory of Staggered Time (Bloomsbury Studies in Continental Philosophy)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThrough original speculations on the surprisingly complementary concepts of simultaneity and delay, and new interpretations of the great philosophers of time, this book proposes an innovative theory of staggered time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the early 20th Century, Bergson and Husserl (following Einstein) made Simultaneity-what it means for events to occur at the same time-a central motif in philosophy. In the late 20th Century, Derrida and Deleuze instead emphasized Delay-events staggered over distant times. This struggle between convergent and staggered time also plays out in 20th Century aesthetics (especially music), politics, and the sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite their importance in the history of philosophy, this is the first book to comprehensively examine the concepts of simultaneity and delay. By putting simultaneity and delay into a dialectical relation, this book argues that time in general is organized by elastic rhythms. Lampert's concepts describe the time-structures of such diverse phenomena as atonal music, political decision-making, neuronal delays, leaps of memory and the boredom of waiting; and simultaneities and delays in everyday experience and behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46347916214351,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":1853.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9781472524775","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
