PHIL 1.08 Philosophy of Time & Time Travel
On the one hand, time is completely familiar. On the other, it is a total mystery. As you might expect, the combination makes for good philosophy. In this course, we will study a variety of philosophical puzzles concerning the nature of time. Is time an illusion? Does time pass? Is the present special? Is time travel possible? Do the past and future exist? Does time have a direction? What is spacetime? What are the special and general theories of relativity? What do they imply about the nature of time?
