Introduction: The time of anthropology: studies of contemporary chronopolitics and chronocracy

Kirtsoglou, Elisabeth; Simpson, Bob

Abstract

I do not define time, space, place and motion as being well known to all. But it must be observed that the vulgar conceive those quantities only from the relation they bear to sensible objects. And thence arise certain prejudices, for the removing of which, it is proper to distinguish them into absolute and relative, true and apparent, mathematical and vulgar.
