Recenzii
The book as whole is recommended for its thought-provoking new take on MST as well as for its excellent discussions of the epistemological argument for Presentism, MacTaggart-style attacks of A Theory, and future indeterminacy.
In The Moving Spotlight... Cameron offers an advanced philosophical discussion of the ontology of time, and his contribution to contemporary debate on metaphysics of time (within analytic philosophy) has already received a vivid response from academics and stimulated further debate ... [a] challenging and inspiring book.
The Moving Spotlight is a novel, plausible, and rigorous contribution to our understanding of the A-theories. It deserves the careful attention of any scholar working on time, ontology, or the methodology of metaphysics.
it's well worth the read because, even if you come away from the book holding onto the same view of time as you had going in, you will certainly learn something along the way ... I do think Cameron has breathed new life into the view, and getting on the roller coaster of The Moving Spotlight is a ride well worth taking.
