Graham Nerlich is one of the most distinguished of contemporary philosophers of space and time. Eleven of his essays are here brought together in a carefully structured volume, which deal with ontology and methodology in relativity, variable curvature and general relativity, and time and causation. The author has provided a new general introduction and also introductions to each part to bring the discussion more up to date and draw out the general themes. The book will be welcomed by all philosophers of physics, and of science in general.

Eleven of Graham Nerlich's essays are here brought together dealing with ontology and methodology in relativity; variable curvature and general relativity; and time and causation.
Reviews
"Nerlich, a well-established philosopher of space and time, has provided a set of erudite and highly technical essays that will prove richly rewarding for scholars of the philosophy of space and time....a presentation of value for those who already know relativity and wish to know more about the metaphysical subtleties of its meaning." Choice
"...the essays in this book constitute an important and thoughtful contribution to the philosophy of space and time. The author presents incisive treatments of a number of long-standing and crucial issues." Lawrence Sklar, Mathematical Reviews
