The volume
comprises a selection of fifty four papers presented at the seminar
held in November 1990 at IGNCA where over sixty delegates from twelve
countries and a dozen disciplines were engaged in profound and
meaningful dialogue for six
days. Each paper brings a penetrating insight into this all permeating
and pervading preoccupation of man since the dawn of awareness of his
being and becoming. The papers are grouped into eight sections: (l)Time:
Concept, (2) Time: The Philosophic Discourse, (3) Time: Geological and
Biological, (4) Time: Social and Cultural, (5) Time: Ritual, (6) Time:
Response of the Arts, (7) Time: Consciousness, and (8) Time:
Transcendence and Immanence.
