    • 1998, Nicholas Rescher, Communicative Pragmatism and Other Philosophical Essays on Language:
      In theory, there could be two ways of working a coherent, connected, systematic account of a person — the chronological, which proceeds backward (so to speak) from the beginning to the end and the antichronological, which proceeds from the end to the beginning.
