The last century has seen enormous progress in our understanding of
time. This volume features original essays by the foremost
philosophers of time discussing the goals and methodology of the
philosophy of time, and examining the best way to move forward with
regard to the field's core issues. The collection is unique in
combining cutting edge work on time with a focus on the big picture
of time studies as a discipline. The major questions asked include:
What are the implications of relativity and quantum physics on our
understanding of time? Is the passage of time real, or just a
subjective phenomenon? Are the past and future real, or is the
present all that exists? If the future is real and unchanging (as
contemporary physics seems to suggest), how is free will possible?
Since only the present moment is perceived, how does the experience
as we know it come about? How does experience take on its character
of a continuous flow of moments or events? What explains the
apparent one-way direction of time? Is time travel a
logical/metaphysical possibility?
