Contents:

The language of time -- Temporal simultaneity -- Priority, posteriority, and causality -- Relations and reductions -- The reality of time -- On measurement and numbering -- Time and atemporality -- Sempiternity, angelic time, and the aevum -- Eternity -- God and time.

Summary: Rory Fox challenges the traditional understanding that Thomas Aquinas believed that God exists totally outside of time. His study investigates the work of several mid-thirteenth-century writers, including Albert the Great and Bonaventure as well as Aquinas, examining their understanding of the topological and metrical properties of time. Fox thus provides access to a wealth of material on medieval concepts of time and eternity, while using the conceptual tools of modern analyticphilosophy to express his conclusions.
