Time And Space: A Metaphysical Essay (1865)

By Shadworth Hollway Hodgson

Book Overview

Time and Space: A Metaphysical Essay is a philosophical work written by Shadworth H. Hodgson in 1865. In this book, Hodgson explores the concepts of time and space from a metaphysical perspective. He delves into the nature of these concepts, their relationship to each other, and their significance in our understanding of reality.Hodgson begins by examining the different theories of time and space that have been proposed throughout history. He then presents his own theory, which he calls the ""relational theory."" According to this theory, time and space are not absolute entities, but rather are relational concepts that depend on the observer's perspective.Hodgson also explores the relationship between time and causality, arguing that time is not simply a linear progression of events, but rather is intimately connected to the causal relationships between those events. He goes on to discuss the implications of his theory for our understanding of the nature of reality, arguing that it challenges traditional notions of substance and causality.Overall, Time and Space: A Metaphysical Essay is a thought-provoking exploration of some of the most fundamental concepts in philosophy. Hodgson's insights into the nature of time and space continue to be relevant to contemporary philosophical debates, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the philosophy of metaphysics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
