Niko Strobach: The Moment of Change. A Systematic History in the Philosophy of Space and Time

Niko Strobach: The Moment of Change. A Systematic History in the Philosophy of Space and Time Niko Strobach: The Moment of Change. A Systematic History in the Philosophy of Space and Time Dordrecht/Boston/London: Kluwer Academic Publishers 1998 (New Synthese Historical Library, vol. 45) When does a change happen? How is change and the time of changing to be described both logically and ontologically? These are the questions at the centre of the problem of the moment of change (MOC). Strobach’s book is the first book-length study reviewing the discussion of this long-standing philosophical riddle.

The profoundest discussion of the MOC, however, is in Strobach’s eyes to be found in Aristotle’s Physics (47–83), which had a strong influence both on the medieval logic of tense and time (84–110) and the modern discussion of the MOC.

Abstract

Niko Strobach: The Moment of Change.
