Reviews
Todd's book is a highly recommended read to all those working in metaphysics of time, tense logic, and debates about philosophy of religion. It is remarkable how the book offers a complete, original, and ingenious defense of the doctrine that future contingents are all false. * Giacomo Andreolett, University of Tyumen, Tyumen, Russian Federation, Ratio *
Todd's work will be of great interest to anyone working in the philosophy of logic, especially counterfactuals; philosophy of time; philosophy of religion-a lengthy discussion of omniscience and divine foreknowledge unfolds-and metaphysics. * A. Jaeger, CHOICE *
novel and resourceful... a view of this kind merits serious consideration both from those concerned with the metaphysics of time and those interested in the semantics and pragmatics of our discourse about it. * Mitch Green, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
Todd's views are process friendly without quite being in the mold of process thought, his work is a rewarding read with many insights for process thinkers and some improvements on what they (myself included) have argued. * Donald Wayne Viney, Process Studies *
