Recenzii
In her exceptional new book . . . Meghan Sullivan aims to demonstrate that temporal bias is irrational and that we instead should be temporally neutral. . . . The best books in philosophy focus on a new (or underexplored) problems and make significant headway in solving those problems. Sullivan's Time Biases does exactly that. Her arguments are original, insightful, and usually compelling. Her understanding of the issues are so deep, and her writing so clear, that the careful reader can't help but gain a significant understanding of the relevant philosophical terrain. This book is an invaluable contribution to the literature on time biases, which will hopefully grow in the future, thanks in part to this groundbreaking work.
The book will be of interest to anyone wishing to gain a deeper philosophical and scientific understanding of their own patterns of prudential concern and planning behavior, as well as bigger questions concerning life, death, and meaning. The book is well-argued, and stylistically, it is a welcome departure from the dryness that is characteristic of much of analytic philosophy.
I highly recommend this book both as an introduction to the topic of time bias and as a sophisticated and original treatment of the more specific topics that she addresses, a combined feat that is hard to achieve. She manages to be clear and challenging at the same time, making reading this book very enjoyable for anyone with philosophical interests. The reflection on the issues that she prompts does not quickly fade when the reading is past.
Time Biases is an exemplary instance of ethically engaged analytic philosophy at its best.
