This book is more or less a linguistic analysis of ordinary language philosophy ..and "common-sense" concepts of time. I'm afraid that I must side with the physicists here because common sense ideas of time have no place in .say, quantum behaviour and time....nor with relativistic time where clocks travelling faster measure time as slower than a stationary clock. But still a fascinating book. It also contains a critique of the book which is equally fascinating and the reviewer more or less repudiates all that Gale is saying. OK the book is now 55 years old but still worth three stars from me.… (plus d'informations)
