Sentence examples for two temporal dimensions from inspiring English sources

The myths that the theatre presents, therefore, have two temporal dimensions: 1) Because they are about distinguishing features of human 'being,' they have, like Greek and Corneillian tragedy, a transhistorical appeal; they are plays about human freedom in general.

One can see that we are at the beginning of an infinite regress, unless the third temporal dimension is identified with the first (as in Schlesinger 1980, Chapter II), leaving us in the uncomfortable position of having two temporal dimensions.

Some authors (in philosophy, physics and science fiction) consider 'time travel' scenarios in which there are two temporal dimensions (e.g. Meiland (1974)), and others consider scenarios in which there are multiple 'parallel' universes each one with its own four-dimensional spacetime (e.g. Deutsch and Lockwood (1994)).

Time travellers cannot change the past: they cannot make it different from the way it was but they can participate in it: they can be amongst the people who did make the past the way it was.[12] What about models involving two temporal dimensions, or parallel universes do they allow for coherent scenarios in which the past is changed?

Such an approach uses information from concentration changes along two temporal dimensions in combination: the age concentration relationship at a given time within each set of CSD (Ogura 2004; Van der Molen et al. 2000) and the cross-sectional trend as a function of calendar time (Ritter et al. 2009).

The philosophy of time is one of Robinson's major themes as a writer; and this novel's meditations on the way our consciousness of time is complexly entangled in three temporal dimensions - the rapidly inexorable advance of picoseconds, the glacially slow pulse of eternity, and the backward flow of memory - is nothing short of brilliant.

For their part, the Sautrāntika accept neither causation at a distance nor the existence of constitutive elements of experience in all three temporal dimensions.

But in postulating the existence of the constituent elements of experience throughout the three temporal dimensions, the Sarvāstivādins simply shifted the Abhidharma problematic: having presumably explained what accounts for the efficacy of accumulated karmic potential, the question now is why a karmic result arises at one time rather than another?

For the Vaibhāṣikas the justification for maintaining the existence of dharmas in all three temporal dimensions is provided by their causal theory of cognition: since cognitive awareness cannot arise in the absence of an objective support, the cognition must be causally related to the object.

The Vaibhāṣika (also referred in the literature as the Sarvāstivādins), solved the problem of the continuity of karmic potential by proposing an ontology of the constitutive elements of reality (or dharmas) as existing in all three temporal dimensions: past, present, and future.

Crucially, it is with the configuration of care that we encounter the first tentative emergence of temporality as a theme in Being and Time, since the dimensionality of care will ultimately be interpreted in terms of the three temporal dimensions: past (thrownness/disposedness), future (projection/understanding), and present (fallen-ness/fascination).
