The Need for Temporality in Theoretical Psychology

Manoussakis’s (2017) most recent book, The Ethics of Time: A Phenomenology and Hermeneutics of Change, is an important contribution to the general scholarly literature, but especially the discipline of psychology. I believe it brings a depth of awareness to one of the least understood and most important aspects of psychology’s conceptual underpinnings—time and temporality. In this comment, I speak from the vantage point as the editor of the Journal of Theoretical and Philosophical Psychology to explore a few implications of what this deeper awareness might mean.
