EDITORIAL INFORMATION

El Tiempo Imperfecto shows us the different paths that exist to reach a concept of what time is and means in human life.

In an accesible way, easy to understand on the part of the general readership, the different viewpoints of philosophers, historians, theologists, literature specialists or physicians, from Aristotle to Nietzsche, from the Greek gods to Borges, or from Einstein to the very same Stephen Hawking, are examined in depth.

This is a book pleasant to read, interesting, and that makes available to the readers a topic, that of time, which appeared to be exclusive of physicians and scientists.

OUR REVIEW

Certainly, this is a book that takes the reader to meditate on the most fundamental questions of existence. Time, which rules all the processes of the universe, which gives a beginning and an end to our very own lives, is analyzed in depth yet without reaching a technical degree that makes it only accessible to experts.

The development of this work is very adequate, as it combines a scientific approach to another of a philosophical nature, an ideal combination when the theme to deal with is that of the extent this one has.

The read of this book is made very attractive, not only because of its fascinating theme, but also due to the style it is written in.
