This indisputable fact of existence has driven human ingenuity since antiquity, whether through efforts to lengthen our lives with medicine or shorten the amount of time we spend on work using technology. Alongside this struggle to manage the pressure of life's ultimate deadline, human perception of the passage and effects of time has also changed. In On Borrowed Time, Harald Weinrich examines an extraordinary range of materials-from Hippocrates to Run Lola Run-to put forth a new conception of time and its limits that, unlike older models, is firmly grounded in human experience. Weinrich's analysis of the roots of the word time connects it to the temples of the skull, demonstrating that humans first experienced time in the beating of their pulses. Tracing this corporeal perception of time across literary, religious, and philosophical works, Weinrich concludes that time functions as a kind of sixth sense-the crucial sense that enables the other five. Written with Weinrich's customary narrative elegance, On Borrowed Time is an absorbing-and, fittingly, succinct-meditation on life's inexorable brevity. 606 $aTime in literature 606 $aTime$xPhilosophy 610 $adeadlines, meeting a deadline, human perception, passage of time, humanity, experience, understanding, timing, philosophy, philosophical, literature, literary, representation, religion, religious, hippocrates, theophrastus, aristotle, seneca, leon battisti alberti, dante, petrarch, goethe, oscar wilde, thomas mann, ingeborg bachmann, balzac, stefan zweig, marx, homer, heine, benjamin franklin, william shakespeare, jules verne, hugo von hofmannsthal, arthur schnitzler, theodore fontaine, emily dickinson, proust. 615 0$aTime in literature. 615 0$aTime$xPhilosophy. 676 $a115 700 $aWeinrich$b Harald$0132589 701 $aRendall$b Steven$01513828 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781064103321 996 $aOn borrowed time$93767432 997 $aUNINA
