A core topic in metaphysics, time is also central to issues in the
philosophy of science, the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of
religion. Debates in the Metaphysics of Time explores these close
philosophical connections and tackles the contemporary debates using
an interactive approach. Contributors put forward their views before
commenting on the ideas of other contributors and defending against
objections. Divided into 'metaphysics and time', 'consciousness and
time' and 'God, time and human freedom', chapters are organized around
key questions, including: How are we to understand the passage of
time, or the 'change' an event seems to undergo when it moves from the
future to the present and then recedes into the more and more distant
past? Can we only be directly aware of what is momentary if we
directly experience change and duration? How is God related to time
and is divine foreknowledge and human freedom compatible? For students
and researchers looking to understand the latest arguments in the
philosophy of time, Debates in the Metaphysics of Time provides an
original, up-to-date and accessible account of past, present and
future debates.
