Description: Ulrich Meyer defends a novel theory about the nature of time and argues against the consensus view that time and space are fundamentally alike. He presents a comprehensive defence of a 'modal' account, which emphasises the similarities between times and possible worlds in modal logic, and is easily reconciled with the theory of relativity.
