Why does time seem to flow in one direction? Can we influence the past? Is only the present real? Does relativity conflict with our common understanding of time? How does time relate to free will? Could science do away with time? These questions and others about time are among the most puzzling problems in philosophy and science. In this exciting collection of original articles, eminent philosophers propose novel answers to these and other questions. Based on the latest research in philosophy and physics, these essays will be enjoyable to anyone with a speculative turn of mind.

'… a thoroughly excellent contribution to the Philosophy of Time. I suggest it should be regarded as a 'must have' volume for any philosopher with a serious interest in the Philosophy of Time considering the depth and breadth of the articles included.' Philosophical Writings
