Hirai, Yasushi

While focusing on the multiscale structure in time and incorporating not only extension and tense but also aspect into philosophy of time, I hope to apply this to metaphysical problems such as consciousness, mind, freedom and memory. By reinterpreting and reformulating the ideas contained in traditional philosophical texts through the lens of contemporary analytical discussion and scientific theory, I am interested in drawing out more universal and inspiring tools of thinking from the history of philosophy.
