Abstract
This is more philosophy oriented (but based on physics). I can articulate how I view the different problems associated to the philosophy of time. The distinct notions of time and the confusion generated by mixing them. Then I can focus on the specific issue of the direction of time (the reason the past is different from the future) and present my recent work that derives the arrow of traces and the arrow of agency from the thermodynamic arrow.
