Bradford Skow Ordre des livres

About the Book Fox sets out on a journey to find a forest she has read about. There are several unexpected events along the way, but will Fox find the forest? Is her journey worth it?

Reasons Why advances a new theory of explanation. The book argues that what philosophers are really after, or at least should be after, when they seek a theory of explanation, is a theory of answers to why-questions. This theory is defended against many examples designed to show that no simple theory like it could be true.

Bradford Skow presents an original defense of the 'block universe' theory of time, often said to be a theory according to which time does not pass. He provides in-depth discussions of alternative theories, reconciles objective becoming with relativistic physics, and re-evaluates our 'experience' of the passage of time in relation to the argument.
