Presenting the history of space-time physics, from Newton to Einstein, as a philosophical as well as a scientific development DiSalle shows that in the revolutionary changes that distinguish that history philosophical arguments have been as crucial as - and, in fact, inseparable from - the empirical arguments for each progressive step. Thus he offers a new appreciation of the development of physics as the source of deeper philosophical understanding of the nature of space and time and its relation to ordinary human experience.
