Description
Time is at the heart of our everyday experience, yet reconciling how we perceive time with theories in physics and metaphysics can be challenging. This comprehensive introduction explores the intersection of physics and metaphysics to shed light on difficult questions about time. The authors consider various views on the nature of time, including whether time travel is possible, if it is, whether we can change the past, and whether there is a single moment that is objectively present. They examine questions such as whether time flows or is static, and ultimately, whether time exists at all. This book provides a clear roadmap for further study, with detailed readings and exercises to challenge students and provide a comprehensive overview of the area.
