Notes

  1. Brian Leftow,Time and Eternity (Ithaca and London: Cornell University Press, 1991). I identify quotations from this book by means of parenthetical page references in the body of my text. Leftow's discussion of Boethian eternity occurs in Chapter 6, titled “Boethius: Eternity as Duration,” and my criticism is restricted to what he has to say in that discussion. In subsequent chapters he develops an Anselmian account of eternity that does not necessarily inherit the flaws I find in his account of Boethian eternity.
