The Structure of Time

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Originally published in 1980. The author's arguments here provide grounds for rejecting both the absolutist and the relativist theories of time and presents two new theories, shifting the traditional debate to a consideration of time as a theoretical structure and theoretical framework.
