Time, Space, and Metaphysics engages with major philosophical
questions concerning time and space, a framework for the
investigation being provided by the debate between the absolutists
and the relationists, so between Newton and Leibniz, and their
followers. The investigation brings to the fore questions of the
nature and reality of time and space, and leads on to more recent
debates, such as those relating to anti-realism, time travel,
temporal parts, geometry, convention, and the infinitude of time
and space. These in turn raise more general issues, issues
involving such concepts as those of identity, objectivity,
causation, facts, and verifiability. Their examination falls within
metaphysics, thought of as the investigation and analysis of
fundamental philosophical concepts, but there is also metaphysics
of a more contentious character, where the subject-matter is
provided by propositions which transcend what can be known either
through experience or by pure reasoning. In this connection, a
central aim is to show how, without dismissing them as nonsensical,
we may arrive at a fruitful interpretation of such propositions.
