it's well worth the read because, even if you come away from the book holding onto the same view of time as you had going in, you will certainly learn something along the way ... I do think Cameron has breathed new life into the view, and getting on the roller coaster of The Moving Spotlight is a ride well worth taking. * Kristie Miller, Metascience * The Moving Spotlight is a novel, plausible, and rigorous contribution to our understanding of the A-theories. It deserves the careful attention of any scholar working on time, ontology, or the methodology of metaphysics. * Meghan Sullivan, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
