Time and Space, Second Edition

Time and Space has quickly established itself as essential course material for students and teachers dealing with the philosophy of time and space. This fully revised and expanded edition includes new chapters on Zeno's paradoxes, speculative contemporary developments in physics, and dynamic time. Other chapters have been brought fully up-to-date in the light of new research, making the second edition unrivalled in its breadth of coverage.

Surveying both historical debates and modern physics, Barry Dainton evaluates the central arguments in a clear and unintimidating way that keeps conceptual issues comprehensible to students with little scientific or mathematical training and makes the philosophy of space and time accessible to anyone trying to come to grips with the complexities of this challenging subject. With over 100 original line illustrations and a full glossary of terms, Time and Space keeps the requirements of students firmly in sight and will continue to serve as the ideal textbook for philosophy of time and space courses.
