Description

Thomas Sattig develops a comprehensive framework for doing philosophy of time, and offers an original three-dimensionalist picture of the material world. He brings together a variety of different perspectives, linking our ordinary conception of time with the physicist's conception, and linking metaphysical questions about time with questions in the philosophy of language.

Features

  • Fascinating exploration of time and our different understandings of it
  • Creates a fertile dialogue between metaphysics, philosophy of physics, and philosophy of language
  • Sattig presents his own original metaphysical worldview

Reviews
