Originally published in 1980. What is time? How is its structure
determined? The enduring controversy about the nature and structure
of time has traditionally been a diametrical argument between those
who see time as a container into which events are placed, and those
for whom time cannot exist without events. This controversy between
the absolutist and the relativist theories of time is a central
theme of this study. The author's impressive arguments provide
grounds for rejecting both these theories, firstly by establishing
that 'empty' time is possible, and secondly by showing, through a
discussion of the structure of time which involves considering
whether time might be cyclical, branching, beginning or
non-beginning, that the absolutist theory of time is untenable.
This book then advances two new theories, and succeeds in shifting
the traditional debate about time to a consideration of time as a
theoretical structure and as a theoretical framework.
