PHIL 50.28 Philosophy of Time
In this seminar we will explore the nature of time and temporal phenomena. Topics include: Does time pass? Do the past and future exist? What light does special relativity shed on the nature of the present? Is an object fully present at a time, or only a temporal part of it? What explains the temporal asymmetries of our experience? Could the world be fundamentally non-temporal?
