Time perception or sense of time

The Experience and Perception of Time

We see colours, hear sounds and feel textures. Some aspects of the
world, it seems, are perceived through a particular sense. Others, like
shape, are perceived through more than one sense. But what sense or
senses do we use when perceiving time? It is certainly not associated
with one particular sense. In fact, it seems odd to say that we see,
hear or touch time passing. And indeed, even if all our senses were
prevented from functioning for a while, we could still notice the
passing of time through the changing pattern of our thought. Perhaps,
then, we have a special faculty, distinct from the five senses, for
detecting time. Or perhaps, as seems more likely, we notice time through
perception of other things. But how?





Time perception raises a number of intriguing puzzles, including what
it means to say we perceive time. In this article, we shall explore the
various processes through which we are made aware of time, and which
influence the way we think time really is. Inevitably, we shall be
concerned with the psychology of time perception, but the purpose of the
article is to draw out the philosophical issues, and in particular
whether and how aspects of our experience can be accommodated within
certain metaphysical theories concerning the nature of time and
causation.
