The Unreality of Time
John Mctaggart
Read by Carl Manchester
The Unreality of Time by John McTaggart explores the intricate nature of time through a philosophical lens. In this influential essay, McTaggart presents his groundbreaking theory of the A, B, and C series, which challenges conventional understandings of temporal existence.
Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century philosophical discourse, McTaggart delves into the complexities of how we perceive time. He argues that our common notions of past, present, and future may not reflect the true nature of reality, prompting readers to reconsider their own experiences of time.
This work is essential for those interested in metaphysics and the philosophy of time, offering a thought-provoking examination that has influenced subsequent philosophical thought. McTaggart's articulate prose invites listeners to engage deeply with the concepts presented, making it a significant contribution to philosophical literature.

Great for for falling asleep

Sometimes I just want a good voice with a good cadence to read something that is beyond my comprehension to help me fall asleep. Carl Manchester has that voice and cadence. The Unreality of Time is perfect.

Suffice it to say that I am not sorry whenever I have occasion to listen more to this mercifully short but dauntingly deep recording. Thanks Mr. Manchester for the voice.
