Description

Explore a new perspective on temporal mechanics with Relational Passage of Time, part of the Routledge Studies in Metaphysics series. This academic work presents a rigorous defense of a relational theory regarding how time passes. Unlike traditional substantivalist positions, this book argues that passage is defined by the succession of events, where one thing follows another in a specific order. Readers will examine how causally related events are arranged along the worldlines of observers. The text moves away from the idea of a single, unique global passage, instead proposing a model consisting of multiple local passages of time. This book provides a clear framework for understanding the relationship between events and the progression of time itself. In addition to presenting a positive argument for relationism, the author addresses five common objections to this theory. This makes it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and philosophers interested in the philosophy of science and the fundamental nature of time.
