“…Hence, Vrobel (2013) explains that to Edmund Husserl, "the Now was not a point-like cut between the future and the past, but had extension, as it contained past, present, and future structure" (p. 93).…”

Historically, tax compliance has been a highly interdisciplinary avenue of research to which economics, psychology, law, sociology, history, political science, and accountancy have made valuable contributions. It is less well understood, however, whether we can glean useful insights into tax compliance by moving beyond the social sciences. In particular, the literature pays little attention to the relevance of biology. This paper attempts to remedy this shortcoming by examining the potential opportunities and limitations of introducing biological concepts into tax compliance research.

“…For Husserl, the past is included in the present as retention, that is, the conscious or subconscious recollection which influences the present experience; and the future is already in the present as protention, that is, the anticipation of future events in present experience. Recently, Vrobel (2013) argued that this strain of consciousness is essential to understand rhythms, as the extended "now" is the basis of the anticipatory systems through which rhythms can be perceived. This is significant because, as Vrobel (2013) adds, individual rhythms are nested in the rhythms of the physical and social context.…”

This article discusses the impact of urban change in everyday life rhythms. Recently, urban space has been described and analyzed as polyrhythmic, being a congregation of diverse movements by different agents. While the role of materiality in this dynamic is recognized, the impact of urban change in everyday life rhythms is still underexplored. Seeing urban rhythms as comprised by affective relationships, I analyze how Lisbon’s recent macro-level spatial planning has affected the local everyday life rhythms of elders in Ameixoeira, a peripheral parish of the city. The article presents findings from 20 in-depth narrative interviews with elders who had lived for at least 40 years in the parish, with the purpose of understanding how urban change has affected their daily rhythms, which are stabilized by the resources of urban space. My conclusions identify a set of affective dimensions in which urban change has impacted the daily life rhythms of local elders.

“…Are there different phenomenological interpretations of temporal relativity from the ones of the objectifying 3 rd person descriptions of continuous space-time in Einstein's Special and General Relativity (Einstein, 1916) and fractal spacetime in Nottale's Scale Relativity 39 (Nottale, 1993) inherent to the discontinuity thesis in quantum theory? Vrobel suggests to unify Merleau-Ponty's phenomenological notion of nowness as a 1 st person's perception of depth (associated with individually registered superposition of events) involving the rationalization of systemic blind spots (Merleau-Ponty, 1945) and the one of temporal length ("cogent moment", Salthe, 1993) or duration (associated with the individually registered successive flow of events, Vrobel, 2013) from the perspective of the obserpant, the observer-participant who represents the model of the system itself (Vrobel, 2015). This approach is supposed to deliver an integral description of the subjective reality under investigation involving these two locally experienced (and possibly a few more) temporal scales ("timescales", Pattee, 1973) and tenses (Matsuno & Salthe, 2002) into one overall "fractal dimension" of superposed and sequenced events, known as density of time (Vrobel, 2007).…”

This paper presents yet another personal reflection on one the most important concepts in both science and the humanities: time. This elusive notion has been not only bothering philosophers since Plato and Aristotle. It goes throughout human history embracing all analytical and creative (anthropocentric) disciplines. Time has been a central theme in physical and life sciences, philosophy, psychology, music, art and many more. This theme is known with a vast body of knowledge across different theories and categories. What has been explored concerns its nature (rational, irrational, arational), appearances/qualia, degrees, dimensions and scales of conceptualization (internal, external, fractal, discrete, continuous, mechanical, quantum, local, global, etc.). Of particular interest have been parameters of time such as duration ranges, resolutions, modes (present, now, past, future), varieties of tenses (e.g. present perfect, present progressive, etc.) and some intuitive, but also fancy phenomenological characteristics such as "arrow", "stream", "texture", "width", "depth", "density", even "scent". Perhaps the most distinct characteristic of this fundamental concept is the absolute time constituting the flow of consciousness according to Husserl, the reflection of pure (human) nature without having the distinction between exo and endo. This essay is a personal reflection upon time in modern physics and phenomenological philosophy.Keywords: space, time, consciousness, physics, mathematics, philosophy, phenomenology. ___________________________________________________________________ PrologueSpace and time are particularly modalities of human consciousness. Whereas space can be realized through our eyes and limbs, time remains elusive to our minds and still bothers philosophers since antiquity (Dyke & Bardon, 2013). In the beginning of the 20 th century science made a crucial switchover. Time was spatialized 1 . Until then the world was threedimensional. With the Special Relativity Theory (Einstein, 1905;Minkowski, 1909) the concept of time became the fourth dimension 2 and an integral element of the new physical worldview. It caused confusion among many of Einstein's contemporaries, and not only with its relativistic dilation in the well-known equation with the speed of light ť = t (1-(v/c) 2 ) ½ .1 It could be argued that time was spatialized earlier. Though time and space were separate for Newton (something that Einstein challenged), the clock time he assumed was laid out like space and was devoid of the dynamism of Bergsonian durée, (Bergson, 1912;Čapek, 1961). 2 It was Laplace who treated time as just another dimension equivalent to space, and thereby paved the way for the development of relativity theory as it came to be understood (but not as Čapek, following Bergson, understood it).This notion of relativistic time appeared wrong and unnatural, not without good reason, since:• Time is ineffable, eluding science and mathematics: it can only be grasped through intuition and shown indirectly and partia...
