In this video, I define four different theories of time: (1) presentism, (2) the growing block theory, (3) eternalism, and (4) the moving spotlight theory.
My favorite three books on time are the following:
- Sider, Theodore. 2001. Four Dimensionalism: An Ontology of Persistence and Time. Oxford: Oxford University Press.
- Baron, Sam, and Kristie Miller. 2019. An Introduction to the Philosophy of Time. Cambridge: Polity.
- Dainton, Barry. 2010. Time and Space. 2nd ed. Montreal & Kingston: McGill-Queen’s University Press.
The classical take on the moving spotlight theory is found in:
- Broad, C. D. 1923. Scientific Thought. New York: Harcourt, Brace & Company.
For a recent take on the moving spotlight theory, see
Cameron, Ross P. 2015. The Moving Spotlight. Oxford: Oxford University Press.
