The Ontology of Spacetime

Contains selected papers from the First International Conference on the Ontology of Spacetime. This book addresses two main questions: first, what is the current status of the substantivalism/relationalism debate, and second, what about the prospects of presentism and becoming within present-day physics and its philosophy?
