Julius Thomas Fraser
J. T. Fraser (May 7, 1923 – November 20, 2010) made important scholarly contributions to the interdisciplinary Study of Time and was a founding member of the International Society for the Study of Time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''About the International Society for the Study of Time '' )〕 His work has strongly influenced thinking about the nature of time across the disciplines from physics to sociology, biology to comparative religion, and he was a seminal figure in the general interdisciplinary study of temporality. His work has been particularly influential on the work of Frederick Turner and Alexander Argyros.
==Biography==
Born and raised in Hungary, Fraser was not drafted into the military on account of his partial Jewish heritage. Following the Second World War, he emigrated to the United States. Working as an engineer and an inventor for several years, he registered at least seven US patents between 1958 and 1963. However, he already began to think about the nature of time much earlier, as early as 1945. His early training had been in physics, but he completed his Ph.D. in 1969 in the Fakultät für Geistes- und Staatswissenschaften (Faculty of Social and Political Sciences) at the University of Hannover, and his dissertation was entitled: ''Time as a Hierarchy of Creative Conflicts''. Although this work provided a template for many of his later investigations, he had already touched on many of the core ideas in his first articles in 1966, the same year that he founded the (International Society for the Study of Time ).
Fraser authored and edited many papers over the next several decades, but following the success of his 1966 edited volume of interdisciplinary articles, ''The Voices of Time'', which remains a regularly cited classic of time studies, he oversaw editing and publication of the first ten volumes of the ''The Study of Time'' series through the International Society for the Study of Time. More recent contributions include his role as a founding editor of the interdisciplinary Journal ''Kronoscope''.〔
Fraser died on November 20, 2010 in his home in Westport, Connecticut, which he shared with his wife, Jane.
