Reviews for Collection of Ppolish Works on Philosophical Problems of Time and Spacetime
"[...]the volume provides the much-needed and appreciated service of making the contributions of contemporary Polish philosophers to the problem of time more widely accessible. For this, the editor and the publisher deserve the gratitude of the philosophical community." (Christian Wüthrich, University of Pittsburgh in Erkenntnis, 60, 2004)
