Time and Space. Barry Dainton. The first edition of this title quickly established itself on courses on the philosophy of time and space. This fully revised and expanded new edition sees the addition of chapters on Zeno's paradoxes, speculative contemporary developments in physics, and dynamic time, making the second edition, once again, unrivalled in its breadth of coverage. Surveying both historical debates and the ideas of modern physics, Barry Dainton evaluates the central arguments in a clear and unintimidating way and is careful to keep the conceptual issues throughout comprehensible to students with little scientific or mathematical training. The book makes the philosophy of space and time accessible for anyone trying to come to grips with the complexities of this challenging subject.

These are just some of the fundamental questions addressed in Time and Space.
Writing for a primary readership of advanced undergraduate and graduate philosophy students, Barry Dainton introduces the central ideas and arguments that make space and time such philosophically challenging topics.
Although recognising that many issues in the philosophy of time and space involve These are just some of the fundamental questions addressed in Time and Space. Although recognising that many issues in the philosophy of time and space involve technical features of physics, Dainton has been careful to keep the conceptual issues accessible to students with little scientific or mathematical training.
Surveying historical debates and ideas at the forefront of contemporary thinking, the book is unrivaled in its coverage. Topics include McTaggart's argument for the unreality of change; static, tensed, and dynamic time; time travel and causal arrows; space as void, motion, and curved spac; as well as a non-technical introduction to the special theory of relativity and the key features of general relativity, spacetime, and strings.
Dainton also addresses the relationship between the philosophy of time and broader human concerns involving actions, ethics, fatalism, and death. Get A Copy. Paperback , pages. More Details Original Title. Other Editions Friend Reviews.

Excellent Book. So clear and easy to understand you could give it to a bright and curious teenager and blow their mind.
It starts with basics of time and space starts easy and holds your hand as it shows more and more mindbending implications of time, space, spacetime, and the continuum. I recommend this to anyone interested in the topic it is very accessible and is a free PDF on Scribd a real gem. Apr 09, Ray Gardener rated it really liked it. A good, strong review of various ideas explaining reality. It's dense, even very dense in places, but then again, I don't have enough mathematical background to fully understand all of the points.
Still, I found a lot of things worth thinking about, and it's good to read something really challenging once in a while. Jan 06, Petr rated it it was amazing Shelves: hard-science , mathemathics-logics , philosophy , physics. It certainly is not an easy book to read, but the difficulty lies in the subject matter itself and not in a uselessly convoluted style. Mr Dainton manages to present in a right balance various, often opposing, views on different topics from the philosophy of time and space, and when he offers his stance, he does so in a clear manner.
Worth reading for anyone even just slightly interested in the topic. Excellente introduction.
