ACEVEDO-ZAPATA, Diana María. Serial Time and Experience of Time. A Debate in a Cartesian Key. Diánoia [online]. 2017, vol.62, n.79, pp.103-122. ISSN 0185-2450.

My aim is to criticize the notion of seriality embedded in the understanding of time within the framework of Cartesian studies. I hold that neither those who defend that time is continuous nor those who think that it is discrete take into account the fact that seriality is rooted in a conception of time conceived as divisible and numerable that does not belong intrinsically to the nature of the experience of time of the cogito. I propose to advance towards a characterization of such experiential and cogitative time.

Keywords : continuum theory; cogito; space; time as number; duration.
