A Future for Presentism

by Craig Bourne

How can we talk meaningfully about the past if it does not exist to be talked about? What gives time its direction? Is time travel possible? This defence of presentism - the view that only the present exists - makes an original contribution to a fast growing and exciting debate.

4 stars - Read for my Metaphysics module, Level 5 semester A.

Some very useful insights on problems I had with RPP argument and presentism, but too much formal logic for me in this book, making it unreadable for non-philosophers. The good bits came after the first half of the book in my opinion.
