McTaggart's Paradox (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents the first critical overview of the last century of debate on what is popularly called "McTaggart's Paradox". Scholars have long assumed that McTaggart's argument stands alone and does not rely on any contentious ontological assumptions. The author demonstrates that this view is incorrect-McTaggart himself explicitly claimed his argument to be dependent on the context of his idealist metaphysics. The result is that scholars have proceeded to understand the argument on the basis of their own metaphysical assumptions.
