ABSTRACT

Among the many important hints in the first book of Space, Time and Deity, is the following: "The elements of the one reality which is Space-Time, and not either Space or Time alone, owe their distinctness in either kind to the complementary element. On the whole, though, idealists are much more solidly against the ultimate reality of time than realists are for it, and the quarrel becomes one between them, and a section who, for want of a better name, can be called evolutionists. "The elements of the one reality which is Space-Time, and not either Space or Time alone, owe their distinctness in either kind to the complementary element. The transience of time makes it appear inimical to values, and J. M. E. McTaggart voices the opinion of many when he says that it is the last enemy to be overcome.
