BOOK



This edited book presents the problems of time and direction from

an interdisciplinary point of view, concentrating in particular

on the following relations:



Time and physics

Time, philosophy and psychology

Time, mathematics and information theory



It is a unique contribution by philosophers and scientists who

are active in mathematics, physics, biology, engineering

information theory and psychology. Questions such as the

existence of a Big Bang, the neurobiological basis regarding the

coexistence of free will and determinism, intercultural aspects

of time, mathematical models of time, psychopathological features

of time, and micro reversibility versus macroscopic

irreversibility are studied. It also provides a truly

interdisciplinary study of the problematic 'arrow of time'
