This book on the structure and role of time in physical theories
addresses itself to scientists and philosophers intereste: 'i in
the 'no man's lard' between science and philosophy, in particular
between physics and philoso phy. The p: lint of departure is
physical time, Le. time as usErl 1: Y physicists in their theories;
but the analysis is not oonfined to a purely physical level but
caries the problem into the domain of philosophical in quiry.
Altoough the book presupp: lses some knowledge of physics, I have
avoided, wherever p: lssible, the use of advanced mathematics and
technical details. Of all the people woo have been of help in
writing this book, I w: >uld first of all like to mention Paul
Scheurer and Guy Debrock who were my primary mentors in science and
philosophy. This sttrly is a revision of my dissertation Kroes
1982a] which I wrote under the stimulating guidance of Scheurer;
many of the ideas ex posed here have their origin in his w: >rk
and were developErl in frequent discussions with him. Guy Debrock
not only stimulated my interest in philosophy but also made
valuable suggestions. Witoout any overstatement, I dare say that
without their assistence, this book w: >uld never have been
written. Furthernore, I w: >uld like to thank D. Dieks, J.J.C."
