Refimprove date January 2010 Philosophy of space and time is the branch of philosophy concerned with the issues surrounding the ontology , epistemology , and character of space and time . While such ideas have been central to philosophy from its inception, the philosophy of space and time was both an inspiration for and a central aspect of early analytic philosophy . The subject focuses on a number of basic issues, including&mdash but not limited to&mdash whether or not time and space exist independently of the mind, whether they exist independently of one another, what accounts for time s apparently unidirectional flow, whether times other than the present moment exist, and questions about the nature of identity particularly the nature of identity over time . Ancient and medieval views The earliest recorded Western philosophy of time was expounded by the ancient Egypt ian thinker Ptahhotep c. 2650 2600 BCE , who said Do not lessen the time of following desire, for the wasting of time is an abomination to the spirit. The Vedas , the earliest texts on Indian philosophy and Hindu philosophy dating back to the late 2nd millennium BCE , describe ancient Hindu cosmology , in which the universe goes through repeated cycles of creation, destruction and rebirth, with each cycle lasting 4,320,000 years.

Ancient Near East topics Archaeological material for the study of Babylonia n law is singularly extensive. So called contracts exist in the thousands, including a great variety of deed s, Conveyancing conveyances , bonds, receipts, accounts, and most important of all, actual legal decisions given by the judges in the law courts. Historical inscription s, royal charter s and rescript s, dispatches, private letters and the general literature afford welcome supplementary information. Even grammatical and lexicographical texts contain many extracts or short sentences bearing on law and custom. The so called Sumerian Family Laws are preserved in this way. Other cultures involved with ancient Mesopotamia shared the same common laws and precedents, extending to the form of contacts that Kenneth Kitchen has studied and compared to the form of contracts in the Bible with particular note to the sequence of blessings and curses that bind the deal. The instructions of Ptahhotep , Sharia Law , and 613 Commandments Mosaic law also include certifications for professionals like doctors, lawyers and skilled craftsmen which prescribe penalties for malpractice very similar to the code of Hammurabi. Citation needed date January 2011 The discovery of the now celebrated Code of Hammurabi hereinafter simply termed the Code has made possible a more systematic study than could have resulted from just the classification and interpretation of other material. Some fragments of other codes exist and have been published, but there still remain many points whereof we have no evidence. We have legal texts from the earliest writings through the Hellenistic period, but evidence on a particular point may be very full at one period and almost entirely lacking for another. The Code forms the backbone of the overview that is here reconstructed. Fragments of it recovered from Assur bani pal s library at Nineveh and later Babylonia n copies show that it was studied, divided into chapters, entitled Ninu il ... more details
