Change, Cause and Contradiction: A Defense of the Tenseless Theory of Time - Hardcover
A study of philosophical theories of time and causation and their implications for our concept of change. The author argues that the belief in the idea that the passing of time can make possible genuine change is fundamentally mistaken. The text discusses the view that time passing is incoherent and that genuine change can be accounted for by appealing to its links with causality. In the course of developing an original thoery of change, the book discusses such issues as temporal solipism, simultaneous and backwards causation, closed time and time without change.
