Opis

Presentism, the view that only the present exists, was a much neglected position in the philosophy of time for a number of years. Recently, however, it has been enjoying a renaissance among philosophers. A Future for Presentism is meant as a timely contribution to this fast growing and exciting debate.

Recenzje

...the book is interesting and should be widely read...provides an accessible and profound introduction to the topic and at the same time it expands the framework of the current theory of presentism...This stimulating study is warmly recommended to anyone interested in the metaphysics of time and in the relations between philosophy and physics.
