On the Beginnings and Endings of Time in Medieval Judaism and Islam

S. L. Goldman

A chapter in The Study of Time IV, 1981, pp 59-72 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In discussing Medieval Judaic and Islamic conceptions of the beginning and of the ending of time I will first describe different conceptions of the World’s being-in-time and then ask, with respect to these different conceptions, three questions: 1. Did time exist before the World did? 2. Will time exist after the World ceases to exist? 3. Are all World events in time?
