Reviews

. . . original and outstanding in quality . . . a significant contnribution to the philosophy of time. Of the recent anthologies in philosophy of time, this one is by far my favorite. * Philosophy of Science * Jeremy Butterfield is to be congratulated for soliciting and editing provocative contributions from distinguished scholars with such varied backgrounds and perspectives. * British Journal for the Philosopphy of Science * Review from previous edition The book consists of nine excellent but separate essays on various aspects of time . . . It serves as an admirable introduction to recent work on what the editor rightly calls 'a controversial topic in present-day fundamental physics'. * Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Physics *
