"Invites readers into discussions of time, self and meaning under the auspices of three thinkers: Henri Bergson, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Paul Ricoeur. The work of each thinker is highlighted to show how each 'disrupts' 'clock time,' drawing out and reclaiming aspects of our humanity neglected in mere chronology"--Provided by publisher.
