Zustand: New. How do material objects persist through time and survive change? Are they three-dimensional entities extended in space, but not in time, or are they four-dimensional spacetime "worms"? Yuri Balashov shows how Einstein's theory of relativity supports four-dimensionalism, and in so doing illuminates a wide range of m…etaphysical issues. Num Pages: 248 pages, Illustrations.
