Conclusion: Looking Back and Looking Forward

  • Camden Alexander McKenna

摘要

This chapter concludes the book like the specious present itself, by looking back and by looking forward. First, the chapter reviews the book’s proposals, and then speculates on future research directions in the field of time-consciousness, with particular attention to advancements at the levels of neurophenomenological and physiological implementation, which have remained more or less outside of the scope of inquiry until this point. The chapter discusses the prospects of identifying neural correlates of time-consciousness, covering a few proposals and further critiquing internal clock models, discussed at greater length in the previous chapter. Finally, the chapter suggests that a biogenic approach to time-consciousness may be a fruitful perspective going forward for identifying the relevant physiological mechanisms responsible for time-consciousness.
