Paradoxes of Time Travel
Langue : Anglais
Auteur : Wasserman Ryan
Ryan Wasserman presents a wide-ranging exploration of puzzles raised by the possibility of time travel, including the grandfather paradox, the bootstrapping paradox, and the twin paradox of special relativity. He draws out their implications for our understanding of time, tense, freedom, fatalism, causation, counterfactuals, laws of nature, persistence, change, and mereology. The Paradoxes of Time Travel is written in an accessible style, and filled with entertaining examples from physics, science fiction, and popular culture.
Ryan Wasserman is professor of philosophy at Western Washington University, and co-editor of Metametaphysics (OUP 2009).
