He does (appropriately, from his approach) go back to Kant:
"Kant (1787) in his Critique of Pure Reason disagreed with Locke’s claim
that our conception of time can be bootstrapped from experience, and
claimed to the contrary that time is not an aspect of objective reality but
is an innate a priori concept that we impose upon our experience."
I think ultimately, when you dig down, Hoffman
http://www.cogsci.uci.edu/~ddhoff/
takes the cognitivist approach of information-processing agents, vs. the
material[pan]psychist approach where experience is intrinsic to matter
(which could include temporal experience).
