Description for Timely Topics (Macmillan Studies in Contempor)
Hardcover. This philosophical investigation of time advances two arguments defending the view that "time rolls relentlessly": it discusses the fundamental differences between spatio-temporal location and other physical properties; and tackles the problem, why is the past so much better known than the future? Series: Studies in Contemporary Philosophy. Num Pages: 241 pages, biography. BIC Classification: HPJ; PGZ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 216 x 140 x 25. Weight in Grams: 455.
The non-technical, basic yet familiar features of time are investigated, e.g. two novel, detailed arguments defending the common view that 'time rolls relentlessly' are advanced; a number of hitherto neglected fundamental differences between spatio-temporal location and every other physical property are discussed; the unresolved problem, why the past is so much better known than the future is tackled. For those who wish to delve deeper, 25% of the book consists of problems to ponder and their possible solutions.
