The realist view of passage developed in this book differs from the robust, substantivalist position. According to relationism, passage is nothing over and above the succession of events, one thing coming after another. Causally related events are temporally arranged as they happen one after another along observers' worldlines. There is no unique global passage but a multiplicity of local passages of time. After setting out this positive argument for relationism, the author deals with five common objections to it: (a) triviality of deflationary passage, (b) a-directionality of passage, (c) the impossibility of experiencing passage, (d) fictionalism about passage, and (e) the incompatibility of passage with perduring objects. Relational Passage of Time will appeal to scholars and advanced students working in philosophy of time, metaphysics, and philosophy of physics.Routledge studies in metaphysicsTimeRelationismTime perceptionB-theory of timeblock universe viewcausal eventsdirectionality of passageeternalismillusion of passageMatias Slavovmeasuring passagemetaphysicsNewtonian mechanicsperspectival matterphilosophy of timerelationalismrelational passage of timespacetimetemporal fictionalismtemporal passagetemporal relationsTime.Relationism.Time perception.115Slavov Matias1271902NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910572195203321Relational Passage of Time2996269UNINA
