'''The Concept of "Folk Metaphysics"''': Analyzing "The Structure of Time." In English, we see "Time" as a "Line" (Horizontal). We look "Forward" to the future. In **Aymara** (Andes), the future is "Behind" you (because you can't see it) and the past is "In Front" of you (because you can see it). This "Grammar of Time" changes their "Philosophy" of "Planning and History."
