Basically a philosophy volume (possible textbook) but with quite a lot of science included, especially toward the end. Those sections that include science in the argumentation (forgive me for so opining) seem a lot less pointless than those that are purely philosophical. One idea I'm quite comfortable with is that not only is the past just as real as the present but so is the future. (As is described in Brian Greene's latest book, in Einsteinian spacetime a cosmologically distant being could make any event in your past or future be part of his present [though without necessarily being able to observe it] just by moving away from or towards you at a certain speed.) www.liv.ac.uk/~bdainton/time&space.html… (altro)
