What is the nature of time? Does it flow? Do the past and future
exist? Drawing connections between historical and present-day
questions, A Critical Introduction to the Metaphysics of Time
provides an up-to-date guide to one of the most central and debated
topics in contemporary metaphysics. Introducing the views and
arguments of Parmenides, Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Newton and
Leibniz, this accessible introduction covers the history of the
philosophy of time from the Pre-Socratics to the beginning of the
20th Century. The historical survey presents the necessary
background to understanding more recent developments, including
McTaggart's 1908 argument for the unreality of time, the open
future, the perdurance/endurance debate, the possibility of time
travel, and the relevance of current physics to the philosophy of
time. Informed by cutting-edge philosophical research, A Critical
Introduction to the Metaphysics of Time evaluates influential
historical arguments in the context of contemporary developments.
For students looking to gain insights into how ideas within the
philosophy of time have developed and better understand recent
arguments, this is the ideal starting point.
