Unknown Author

4.9/5 (26945 ratings)

Description:In this volume, 12 eminent scientists and philosophers engage in fundamental, perennial questions about Does time exist? Is 'time' a single or multiple entity? Is it possible to reconcile contradictory notions of time, such as subjective and objective, metaphysics and physics, McTaggart's A series and B series, or presentism and eternalism? Does the Special Theory of Relativity dictate a static, deterministic account of reality ('block universe') or does it allow for 'free will'? How did the concept of geologic time originate and what are the limits of its knowledge? How is the Anthropocene defined? Each author examines these questions from the point of view of their own specialties, but without ignoring the metaphysical importance of the issue, nor the possibility that scientific advances might enforce revisions of our brain intuitive judgments. Scholars in the Natural Sciences and Philosophy of Science, as well as lay-readers interested in scientific ideas of time and their philosophical implications.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
