Recenzii
Todd's book is a highly recommended read to all those working in metaphysics of time, tense logic, and debates about philosophy of religion. It is remarkable how the book offers a complete, original, and ingenious defense of the doctrine that future contingents are all false.
Todd's work will be of great interest to anyone working in the philosophy of logic, especially counterfactuals; philosophy of time; philosophy of religion-a lengthy discussion of omniscience and divine foreknowledge unfolds-and metaphysics.
novel and resourceful... a view of this kind merits serious consideration both from those concerned with the metaphysics of time and those interested in the semantics and pragmatics of our discourse about it.
Todd's views are process friendly without quite being in the mold of process thought, his work is a rewarding read with many insights for process thinkers and some improvements on what they (myself included) have argued.
