The Arguments of Time
Jeremy Butterfield (ed.)
New York: Oup/British Academy (1999) Copy BIBTEX
Abstract
These nine essays address fundamental questions about time in philosophy, physics, linguistics, and psychology. Are there facts about the future? Could we affect the past? In physics, general relativity and quantum theory give contradictory treatments of time. So in the current search for a theory of quantum gravity, which should give way: general relativity or quantum theory? In linguistics and psychology, how does our language represent time, and how do our minds keep track of it?Author's Profile
