Sommario/riassunto

Ethics and Time investigates how temporal orientation influence social-ethics. Re-conceptualizing temporal orientation as the production of new temporalities that allow humans to manifest their potentialities and creatively resist obstacles that impede their flourishing, it shows how a social group's orientation to time frames, informs, and drives its politics and religion. It uses an African culture as a practical case study to concretely illustrate the form and dynamics of the interconnections.

This is the man whose company once had, will make men cheearful [sic], though of late but sad: he hates curmudgeons, but does court the blade, that will spend free, for drinking is a trade; by it long nights flye swift, and seem but short, no pastime's like unto true tippling sport. To a pleasant new tune
