explores the changing ways in which time has been understood and how this knowledge is embedded in cultural practices.
examines notions of time that extend from ancient mythology and classical philosophy to the contemporary social world of high-speed computer networks and globalized social relations.
poses key questions about the nature of time, how it is conceptualized, what it means in practice and how the parameters set by nature have been transcended across the ages by the human quest for time know-how and control.
