- catalog abstract ""The central question in the philosophy of time is whether time is tensed or tenseless, that is to say, whether the moments of time are objectively past, present or future or whether they are ordered merely by the tenseless relations earlier than, simultaneous with, and later than. In this book and its companion volume The Tensed Theory of Time: A Critical Examination, William Lane Craig undertakes the first thoroughgoing appraisal of the arguments for and against the tensed and tenseless theories of time respectively, ranging widely over discussions in the philosophy of language, phenomenology, relativity theory, philosophy of space and time, metaphysics, and philosophy of religion. The Tenseless Theory of Time: A Critical Examination seeks to discover whether the absence of relations of absolute simultaneity postulated by the Special Theory of Relativity and arguments for the mind-dependence of becoming serve to warrant a tenseless theory of time or whether the various philosophical and theological problems implied by a tenseless ontology do not serve to defeat that theory."--Jacket.".
