It considers the physics and psychology of time\, time in literary and non-literary arts\, the philosophy and aesthetics of time. It has four themes: the reality of time\, the metaphysics of time\, the passage of time\, and the relation between time and action. Each of these areas has been the focus of substantive investigation in science (we will focus on physics and psychology)\, the arts (we will focus on literature\, visual arts\, and music) and philosophy.
