Time Exposure The Personal Experience of Time in Secular Societies

In his new book, Richard Fenn looks at the way in which we experience time in a secular society. Fenn shows that the Church created the idea of individualism through its demysitification of the universe, its insistence on individual self-discipline, and its intensification of individual responsibility for the use of time. No longer protected by Providence or connected to Eternity, our lives have become radically temporal and contingent. Fenn explores the modern experience of time, as expressed in such phrases as 'wasting time' and 'making up for lost time'. In particular, he is interested in the idea of waiting, which he believes is a defining characteristic of modern life. - Books Reading - New - 461409980 - Time Exposure The Personal Experience of Time in Secular Societies in shop
