he present book and its companion volume The Tensed Theory of Time:
a T Critical Examination are an attempt to adjudicate what one
recent discussant has called "the most fundamental question in the
philosophy of time," namely, "whether a static or a dynamic
conception ofthe world is correct. "] I had originally intended to
treat this question in the space of a single volume; but the study
swelled into two. I found that an adequate appraisal of these two
competing theories of time requires a wide-ranging discussion of
issues in metaphysics, philosophy of language, phenomenology,
philosophy of science, philosophy of space and time, and even
philosophy of religion, and that this simply could not be done in
one volume. If these volumes succeed in making a contribution to
the debate, it will be precisely because of the synoptic nature of
the discussion therein. Too often the question of the nature of
time has been prematurely answered by some philosopher or physicist
simply because he is largely ignorant of relevant discussions
outside his chosen field of expertise. In these two complementary
but independent volumes I have attempted to appraise what I take to
be the most important arguments drawn from a variety of fields for
and against each theory of time.
