The present issue consists of contributions resulting from material presented and discussed in the group during the course of that year. The scope of the papers ranges from rather specialised issues arising from general relativity such as the problem of referential indeterminacy, to foundational questions regarding spacetime in the work of Carnap, Weyl and Hilbert. It is well known that the General Theory of Relativity (GTR) admits spacetime models which are ‘exotic‘ in the sense that observers could travel into their own past. This poses a number of problems for the physical interpretation of GTR which are also relevant in the philosophy of spacetime. It is not enough to exclude these exotic models simply by stating that we live in a non-exotic universe, because it might be possible to "ope | | 出版日期 | Book 1995 | | 关键词 | Albert Einstein; EFE; Relativity; Rudolf Carnap; epistemology; general relativity; science; semantics | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-017-2872-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-90-481-4612-3 | | isbn_ebook | 978-94-017-2872-0 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 1995 |
