RE-THINKING TIME AT THE INTERFACE OF PHYSICS AN...

The current volume of the Parmenides Series ¿On Thinking¿ addresses our deepest and most
personal experience of the world  the experience of ¿the present ¿ from a modern perspective
combining physics and philosophy. Many prominent researchers have contributed articles to the
volume  in which they present models and express their opinions on and  in some cases  also
their skepticism about the subject and how it may be (or may not be) addressed  as well as
which aspects they consider most relevant in this context. While Einstein might have once hoped
that ¿the present¿ would find its place in the theory of general relativity  in a later
discussion with Carnap he expressed his disappointment that he was never able to achieve this
goal. This collection of articles provides a unique overview of different modern approaches 
representing not only a valuable summary for experts  but also a nearly inexhaustible source of
profound and novel ideas for those who are simply interested in this question.
