Recenzii
Thorough surveys of core philosophical topics are rare treasures, and this is one. Harrington (Loyola Univ. Chicago) intends this comprehensive treatment of time to enrich the study of key issues in metaphysics, logic, philosophy of language, epistemology, and philosophy of science. . Harrington enriches each chapter with brief supplemental discussions of major philosophers' thinking on time, applications for theories of time, and technical notes that explain specific terms and ideas. Each chapter also offers a study exercise and a set of discussion questions to inspire student work between or during classes and a bibliography of primary and secondary resources for further reading. Summing Up: Essential. Upper-division undergraduates and graduate students.
This book has a great deal to recommend it. Harrington deserves praise for providing such a thorough and detailed introduction to the philosophy of time. Upon completion of each chapter, one is left with a good flavour of the debate in that area, as well as a realisation of the many open questions that remain ... Harrington has produced a stimulating and detailed companion.
Harrington's book is a useful introduction to the philosophy of time. It provides an in-depth discussion of a number of topics that could easily be used to construct an undergraduate or postgraduate course.
