Ontology of Time

Rate this book
L. Nathan Oaklander is one of the leading philosophers of time defending the tenseless or B-Theory of time. He has remained at the forefront of this field since the early 1980s and today he is arguably the most formidable opponent of the tensed or A-theory of time. Much of the direction of the debate in this field for the past twenty years or so, especially in regards to the new tenseless theory of time, has been influenced by Oaklander's work. This book presents a carefully argued defense of the tenseless theory of time.The topics discussed the ontology of A- and B-theories of time; presentism; the open future theory; the A/B theory; defending the B-theory of time; temporal experience; temporal semantics; and time, identity, responsibility, and freedom.

O que dizer sobre esse livro? jurei que já tinha feito resenha dele, mas acabei de descobrir que não, então vamos lá.

muito engraçado a experiência de ter começado a ler ele umas duas vezes até finalmente engatar na leitura esse ano e fico muito feliz por ter finalmente lido pois ele me introduziu a essa trilogia maravilhosa que ganhou tanto espaço no meu coração. comparado com os outros dois foi o que a leitura fluiu mais lenta e o que eu menos gostei, porém é um ótimo livro introdutório e que faz você achar que a história vai ser preto no branco e na verdade várias reviravoltas acontecem.
