BOOK REVIEWS Helena Eilstein (ed.), A Collection of Polish Works on Philosophical Prob- lems of Time and Spacetime, Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht, 2002, viii + 148 pp., Euro 60 (cloth), ISBN 1402006705. This volume collects eight articles in English by Polish authors in philo- sophy of time and of spacetime. The main emphasis is on the debate regarding the objectivity of the flow of time. According to the preface, the first six papers approach the topic from the vantage points of classical, relativistic, and contemporary physics. While the sixth paper of the collec- tion, by the editor herself, only contains one section which can reasonably be imputed to philosophy of physics, it nevertheless connects to the pre- vious five articles. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of the last two papers, which seem to engage in rather different debates and to partake in entirely distinct traditions. The seventh paper by Stefan Snihur, composed in the vein of traditional philosophy employing the methods of classical logic, operates against the background of everyday experience rather than of physical sciences. The final paper by Andrzej Póltawski exposes the philosophy of time of the Polish Husserl disciple Roman Ingarden. The inclusion of these two papers threatens the coherence of the volume. To be sure, the fact that its authors are all Polish may bestow a unifying theme on the collection, but at the same time, it just shows how variegated the landscape of Polish philosophy actually is. Perhaps a substantial introduc- tion embedding the papers in a larger context and relating them to each other could have established such coherence and offered motivation for the choice of the included essays. Also, the collection would have benefited from more careful editing and referencing and some of the essays could have profited from clearer English. Be this as it may, the volume provides the much-needed and appreciated service of making the contributions of contemporary Polish philosophers to the problem of time more widely accessible. For this, the editor and the publisher deserve the gratitude of the philosophical community. In the first essay of the collection, Jerzy Golosz defines absolute vis- à-vis relational conceptions of motion and links the controversy between Erkenntnis 60: 265–270, 2004.
