The Temporalization of Time

This book is of interest for everybody interested in the problem of time. It puts forward some of the main aspects of this difficult problem..... -- Ilya Prigogine, 1977 Nobel Prize awardee
The Temporalization of Time captures the enormous philosophical importance of a seemingly obscure turning point in the history of physics. What Sandbothe manages to make splendidly clear is the common-sense equivalence of physics' failure to reduce technical thermodynamics to classical mechanics (Boltzmann's project), and the conceptual difference between the reversibility of time (in classical physics) and the irreversibility of time (in the process of human life end reflection). He shows, by reviewing Prigogine's account of 'open systems' and Heidegger's account of temporality as the very meaning of Sein or Dasein, how the 'objective' and subjective treatments of irreversibility now invite us to acheive their reconciliation.
