The whole human body, the entire motor system including facial expressions and bodily gestures, is subject not just to emotions, but also abstract thought. Meaning, both emotional and cognitive, is grounded within the motor dimension. By implication, no meaningful philosophy of time can neglect the aspect of motor imagery.
There is an intrinsic connection between the notions of image and time. Visual images can strike us as incomplete, as ambiguous, unless they are moving ones, happening in time. However, time cannot be conceptualized except by metaphors, and so ultimately by images, of movement in space. The philosophy of images and the philosophy of time are interdependent. This book argues for the reality of time and for visual images as natural carriers of meaning. The experience of the passage of time, of the reality of time, is embodied and made visible in the bodily gestures of time, and indeed in all our gestures. Meaning, both emotional and cognitive, is grounded in the motor dimension. By implication, no meaningful philosophy of time can neglect the aspect of motor imagery.
