E-Books →FINITUDE The Psychology of Self and Time

This thought-provoking bookconsiders how, from a human psychological and existential standpoint, time is very real. It examines how we make sense of such reality in human development and in comparison to other living creatures. The book explores how we represent time and live with it. It tries to capture the essence of time in our self-conscious mind. If we opt to live for as long as possible and knowing that it is going to end, how should we exist?FINITUDEcontemplates this most serious psychological question. It considers the developmental origins of human subjectivity, the foundations of our sense of being alive and the explicit awareness of existing in finite time. It deals with how we live and represent our finite time, how we construe and archive in memory the events of our life, how we project ourselves into the future, and how we are all constrained to knowingly exist in finite time
Offering an overarching understanding of concepts, above andbeyond themethodological details, this book will be an essential reading for all advanced students and researchers interested in the psychology of time, and the development of self.
