"In the past decade the philosophy of time seems to have experienced a renaissance across all of its various sub-fields. With this activity in mind, the Royal Institute of Philosophy agreed to let me organize its annual conference around the title, Time, Reality and Experience. Held at the London School of Economics on 27-8 Sept 2000, the conference brought together philosophers and scientists interested in time from all over the world"--Page v.

Text of Note

"Why does time seem to flow in one direction? Can we influence the past? Is only the present real? Does relativity conflict with our common understanding of time? How does time relate to free will? Could science do away with time? These questions and others about time are among the most puzzling problems in philosophy and science. In this exciting collection of original articles, eminent philosophers propose novel answers to these and other questions. Based on the latest research in philosophy and physics, these essays will be enjoyable to anyone with a speculative turn of mind."
