What Spacetime Explains: Metaphysical Essays on Space and Time
Cambridge University Press (1994)
Abstract
Graham Nerlich is one of the most distinguished of contemporary philosophers of space and time. Eleven of his essays are here brought together in a carefully structured volume, which deal with ontology and methodology in relativity, variable curvature and general relativity, and time and causation. The author has provided a new general introduction and also introductions to each part to bring the discussion more up to date and draw out the general themes. The book will be welcomed by all philosophers of physics, and of science in general.Author's Profile
