Description: Passing Time
Is the peculiar phenomenology of temporal perception (especially in
contrast to spatial perception) the direct perception of some intrinsic
feature of time, its ‘passing’ say? Supporters of temporal becoming
sometimes argue thus. In opposition, I argue that the phenomenology is
largely associated with the perception of motion. Thus I describe motion
detection according to contemporary cognitive science using apparent motion
illusions and neurophysiology, and argue that such brain activity explains
the striking phenomenology in question. That is, the alleged experience of
time passing is instead (in large part) the experience of things moving.
This paper shows that science, not armchair introspection, is needed to
understand what experience shows us about time.
