Explores the connection between money and time in Western culture.
Capital Times analyzes the social and political processes involved in conceptions of time in ancient and medieval tradition and sets them in the context of contemporary political and philosophical debates centering on the thought of Kant and Marx. Witty and learned, Alliez’s ambitious work forces us to reevaluate the philosophical and historical status of time in Western culture.
"Alliez, who teaches philosophy in Paris and Rio de Janeiro, has written a witty and fundamental examination of the social and political construction of time by showing how the conceptions of time inherited from our ancient and medieval traditions are extension of social space as well as a protracted range of interdepending events. This ambitious work is a wonder to read. Highly recommended for general readers of philosophy and social theory."
