In his new book, James Murphy (Professor of Government, Dartmouth College) challenges the widely shared assumptions in Western thought that divide human lives into the discrete stages of childhood, adulthood, and old age. He offers an alternative view in which we are always growing and declining, always learning and forgetting, and always living and dying, and finds that only in relation to one's whole life does the passing of time obtain meaning.
