This is a collection of some works of Polish philosophers and
physicists on philosophical problems of time and spacetime. Without
restricting the thematic scope of the papers, the issue conceming
objectivity of time flow runs as a uniting thread through most of
them. Partly it is discussed directIy, and partly the authors focus
on themes which are of paramount importance for one's attitude to
that question. In the first six papers the authors deal with their
topics against the background of contemporary physics, its
theories, its difficulties and discussed conjectures. For the paper
of S. Snihur that background is provided by everyday worId-outlook,
and the author discusses the problem of existence and character of
the future in the light of basic principles of cIassical logic. The
paper of A. P61tawski, about the views of the outstanding polish
philosopher Roman Ingarden, enriches the thematic scope of the
coIIection introducing into it some questions from philosophical
anthropology and ethics. JERZY GOLOSZ MOTION, SPACE, TIME*.
Abstract. The paper discusses the properties of spacetime we study
by analyzing the phenomenon of motion. Of special interest are the
spacetime symmetries. the spacetime structures and the ontological
status of spacetime. These problems are considered on the grounds
of the c1assical theories of motion contained in Newtonian physics,
special and general theory of relativity. The controversy between
an absolute and a relational conception of motion and its
ontological implications are also analyzed.
