"In this ambitious text, Yuval Dolev gives an original analysis of the competing "presentist" and the "eternalist" camps in the metaphysics of time. He deftly works his way around the complex issues in the field by selecting a few exemplary representatives of the main positions, arguing that they all commit to an ontological assumption that can only be transcended by a return to phenomenology. The result is a thoughtful and very readable book that is sure to invite careful scrutiny and to provoke lively discussion." — Richard Arthur, Department of Philosophy, McMaster University (Rick Arthur )
