CHAPTER SEVEN: TIME AND FREEDOM CHAPTER EIGHT: COULD THE UNIVERSE HAVE NO BEGINNING OR END IN TIME? EPILOGUE: IS ""WHAT IS TIME?"" THE WRONG QUESTION?"Reviews<br> The book is a real winner. It's accessible, lively and packed with good philosophy. More than that, despite being introductory, it really is on the cutting edge of philosophy of time. --Craig Callender, University of California, San Diego, and editor of the Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Time and author of Introducing Time<br><p><br> Adrian Bardon manages to cover a truly impressive array of issues in the philosophy of time ranging from an overview of some of the historical precursors of current ideas to a discussion of the most recent developments in the area. Bardon does an excellent job of making the issues thoroughly accessible whilst at the same time not shying away from the interesting and more difficult questions. Because he manages to walk this tightrope so well, the book would make an excellent resource for undergraduates, but would be equally at home in the bag of a graduate student. Kristie Miller, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Author InformationAdrian Bardon is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Wake Forest University, where he teaches courses on the philosophy of space and time and the history of philosophy.
