How Long is Now? A New Perspective on the Specious Present

Abstract: What is the Specious Present? Which is its duration? And why, ultimately, do we need it to figure in our phenomenological account of temporal perception? In this paper, after introducing the role of the Specious Present in the main models that account for our phenomenological present, and after considering the deflationary objection by Dennett (that the debate relies on the fallacy of the Cartesian Theatre of Mind, the idea that it is meaningful to ask where and when an experience becomes conscious), I claim—t… Show more

This is in essence the impression of being in synchrony with the world within an extended frame of sensorimotor activity.…”

“…In the phenomenological literature on the experience of time it is customary to distinguish among three models (Roselli 2019), namely the cinematic model (Chuard 2011, Prosser 2016), the retentional model (Grush 2007, Kiverstein 2010, Pelczar 2010 and the extensional model (e.g. Dainton 2010a, 2010b, Hoerl 2009.…”
