Beschreibung:
Warren D. TenHouten is Professor of Sociology at the University of California at Los Angeles.
Time-consciousness-"long a shared objective of philosophy and social thought-"is key to understanding different cultures and their cognitive adaptation to one another. Warren D. TenHoutten's remarkable book achieves this goal by providing a bold and original three-level theory of time-consciousness, its neurocognitive basis, and social organization. using classical and contemporary ethnographies of Australian Aborigines and Euro-Australians to support his theory. TenHouten shows how involvement in hedonic sociality-"emphasizing equality and community-"leads to time that is cyclical, present oriented, and more generally natural; whereas agonic sociality-"based on inequality and agency-"leads to time that is linear, future oriented, and more generally rational.
