Brentano and the Ideality of Time
Revista de Filosofia Moderna e Contemporânea August 31, 2021 Denis Seron
The paper examines how present memory experiences of past events are possible, addressing the philosophical puzzle that past events are no longer directly experienced. It outlines Brentano's version of the 'ideality of time view,' which holds that temporal succession is unreal, and contrasts it with Hume's version. The author suggests that, despite significant differences, Brentano's view can be construed as broadly Humean.
