In Defence of a Dynamic View of Reality - Jerzy Gołosz [KSIĄŻKA]

This collection of papers defends a dynamic view of reality which is founded on the assumption of the objective existence of the flow of time. The vindication makes use of a metaphysical theory of the flow of time developed by the author which is based on the notion of dynamic existence. ?The topics covered in the book are presented in an exhaustive and complete way. The defended position is presented in many aspects - ontological, methodological and scientific (physical). (?) It will certainly be a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussions on the passage of time, the problem of time asymmetry, and the relationship between the ontology of time and modern physics.\" From the review by Prof. Tomasz Bigaj JERZY GOŁOSZ is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Philosophy at the Jagiellonian University.
