# Temporal Experience and the Temporal Structure of Experience (Real Version) **Opening (not a real abstract):** The experience of time passing, a central part of human experience of the world, has a number of philosophically puzzling features. Perhaps the most salient is the way that our point of view seems to glide seamlessly from one moment to the next, somehow caught at the cusp of the present as it moves ever forward. How do we account for this sense of motion through time? But in addition to this elusive experience of time passing, we have temporal experience in a less mysterious sense: conscious experience is directed on temporal phenomena, such as the duration of sounds, or the temporal order of visually perceived occurrences. We perceive events playing out in time in just the same sense in which we perceive their more static features, such as shape, texture, color and illumination.
