Recenzii
Persistence and Spacetime is a wonderful example of how metaphysics and physics can combine forces to teach us the nature of spacetime and its denizens.
a powerful and sophisticated set of arguments from relativistic physics to a four-dimensionalist metaphysics of persisting objects. The book is extremely lucid, fair, and original throughout. It also contains an exceptionally clear and reader-friendly introduction to the relevant chunks of physics, so new-comers to relativity theory should find it accessible and engaging. Anyone with an interest in the metaphysics of material objects must come to terms with Balashov's arguments. Persistence and Spacetime is likely to be a major source of ideas and fruitful debate for many years to come.
Balashov's engagement with both physics and metaphysics provides a model for how ontological enquiry ought to proceed.
a great resource for graduate seminars and for those working on persistence.
a great source of insights into the relation among science, common sense and philosophy ... Balashov has set the agenda of the persistence debate.
