'A Companion to the Philosophy of Time'

 'A Companion to the Philosophy of Time'
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)--edited by Adrian Bardon and Heather Dyke

From the Back Cover:

The philosophy of time has been a central area of concern for
philosophers for thousands of years. It remains one of the most active
areas of academic philosophy, but the study of time has never been
more dynamic and interdisciplinary than now. A Companion to the
Philosophy of Time presents the broadest coverage of this subject yet;
32 specially commissioned articles - written by an international
line-up of experts - span the history of the philosophy of time,
contemporary philosophical issues in the nature and reality of time,
and contemporary philosophical issues in the experience and perception
of time.

The Companion takes a tripartite approach in its structure; the first
section features essays on the development of the philosophy of time
from the pre-Socratic period through the 20th century, and comprises a
unique collection of essays devoted to the history of the philosophy
of time. The second and third sections are divided into reflections on
the physics and metaphysics of time, and the human experience of time.
Throughout the Companion, essays reflect the close partnership between
philosophy and the natural sciences in the study of time. The
resulting work provides an unparalleled work of reference for students
and specialists alike in this exciting field.
