Socrates in Phaedo posited a division between the finite mortal self and the soul with consiousness that could escape time and matter. It was the bedrock of Cartesian dualism mostly made redundent by Heidegger's concept of Deisen which finds us 'being there' -thrown into the world- the important question is what we do with this. !:rolleyes:

If you're looking for a rigorous investigation into how we experience time, you could do a lot worse than Husserl's Phenomenology of Internal Time Consciousness.

For something a little more elegant and poetic, but no less profound, Bergson's Time and Free Will might be a good choice.

If you take the time (sorry) to read through, or even dip into, either of those, the likelihood of falling prey to the sometimes superficial analytic tendency to do away with time altogether (I don't include Plato here - his vision of time is on a different plane altogether), would be vastly reduced.

You might even come around to the very compelling position that consciousness is nothing other than time itself (as experienced).
