This collection focuses on the ontology of space and time. It is
centred on the idea that the issues typically encountered in this
area must be tackled from a multifarious perspective, paying
attention to both a priori and a posteriori considerations. Several
experts in this area contribute to this volume:G. Landini discusses
how Russell's conception of time features in his general
philosophical perspective;D. Dieks proposes a middle course between
substantivalist and relationist accounts of space-time;P. Graziani
argues that it is necessary to provide an account of the "synthetic
procedures" implicit in the recourse to diagrams in Euclid's
Elements, while E. Mares comes to the conclusion that in Euclid's
Elements we should treat the parallel postulate as empirical and
the postulate that space is continuous as a priori.M.
Arsenijevic/M. Adzic present an important formal result concerning
two theories of the infinite two-dimensional continua, which sheds
new light on the current dispute between gunkologists and
pointilists; F. Orilia discusses two problems for presentism, one
regarding the duration of the present and the other related to
Zeno's paradoxes. A. Iacona delves deep into logical matters by
focusing on the so-called TxW modal frames in order to deal with
the deteterminism-indeterminism controversy. D. Mancuso outlines a
non-standard temporal model compatible with time travel, andV.
Fano/G. Macchia discuss time travels in the light of an important
foundational principle of modern cosmology, Weyl's Principle.
