Broad. The book offers a coherent, logically perspicuous and ideologically lean formulation of GBT, defends it against the most notorious objections to be found in the extant philosophical literature, and shows how it can be derived from a more general theory, consistent with relativistic spacetime, on the pre-relativistic assumption of an absolute and total temporal order..The authors devise axiomatizations of GBT and its competitors which, against the backdrop of a shared quantified tense logic, significantly improves the prospects of their comparative assessment. Importantly, neither of these axiomatizations involves commitment to properties of presentness, pastness or futurity. The authors proceed to address, and defuse, a number of objections that have been marshaled against GBT, including the so-called epistemic objection according to which the theory invites skepticism about our temporal location. The challenge posed by relativistic physics is met head-on, by replacing claims about temporal variation by claims about variation across spacetime..The b | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | 关键词 | A-theories B-theories Time; Broad Growing Block Theory; Future Contingents Growing Block Theory; Growin | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-78704-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-08768-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-78704-6Series ISSN 0166-6991 Series E-ISSN 2542-8292 | issn_series | 0166-6991 | copyright | Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2018 |
