Summary:A review essay on books by (1) E. Brann, What Then Is Time? (Oxford: Rowman and Littlefield, 1999); and (2) M. Flaherty, A Watched Pot: How We Experience Time (New York: New York U Press, 1999). Of these two works on time and the philosophical problematics of temporality, Brann's book explores how time has been rationally understood, while Flaherty's book focuses on time phenomenologically. The reviewer discusses key aspects of the works - the paradoxical nature of the past, the problems of comprehending the present, and the 'virtual' future - as they are imagined and perceived by, and resonate for, social scientists. 1 Figure, 6 References.
