The articles in this volume have been stimulated in two different
ways. More than two years ago the editor of Synthese, laakko
Hintikka, an nounced a special issue devoted to space and time, and
articles were solicited. Part of the reason for that announcement
was also the second source of papers. Several years ago I gave a
seminar on special relativity at Stanford, and the papers by
Domotor, Harrison, Hudgin, Latzer and myself partially arose out of
discussion in that seminar. All of the papers except those of
Griinbaum, Fine, the second paper of Friedman, and the paper of
Adams appeared in a special double issue of Synthese (24 (1972),
Nos. 1-2). I am pleased to have been able to add the four
additional papers mentioned in making the special issue a volume in
the Synthese Library. Of these four additional articles, only the
one by Fine has pre viously appeared in print (Synthese 22
(1971),448--481); its relevance to the present volume is apparent.
In preparing the papers for publication and in carrying out the
various editorIal chores of such a task, I am very much indebted to
Mrs. Lillian O'Toole for her extensive assistance. INTRODUCTION The
philosophy of space and time has been of permanent importance in
philosophy, and most of the major historical figures in philosophy,
such as Aristotle, Descartes and Kant, have had a good deal to say
about the nature of space and time."
