THE PATTERNS OF TIME: …between Perception, Art, Music and Poetry

What is time: a measurable reality, or a construct of consciousness?In The Patterns of Time, Angelo Cherchi explores one of philosophy's most fascinating questions through a journey that brings together art, music, poetry, literature, memory, and perception.The book examines the relationship between objective and subjective time, the irreversibility of becoming, the connection between time, life, and death, and the ways in which sounds, images, scents, and memories shape our experience of the past and the present.From the great thinkers of the philosophical tradition to contemporary poetry and the mass media, these pages reveal that time is not merely something to be measured, but a profound dimension of human existence.A philosophical and interdisciplinary essay for readers drawn to questions about the meaning of time, memory, art, and consciousness.
