Time and Space: Second Edition / Edition 2

by Barry Francis Dainton

Overview

Surveying both historical debates and modern physics, Barry Dainton evaluates the central arguments in a clear and unintimidating way that keeps conceptual issues comprehensible to students with little scientific or mathematical training and makes the philosophy of space and time accessible to anyone trying to come to grips with the complexities of this challenging subject. With over 100 original line illustrations and a full glossary of terms, Time and Space keeps the requirements of students firmly in sight and will continue to serve as the ideal textbook for philosophy of time and space courses.

Editorial Reviews

"Indispensable... it's very difficult to see how the job of introducing time and space to the philosophically interested could have been better done." Philosophical Books

"An immensely rich and informative discussion. It should be on all space and time reading lists, both for philosophers and for physicists." Philosophy

"An impressive work which deserves a wide audience." Australasian Journal of Philosophy
