ABSTRACT
This chapter is concerned with the more debatable though brilliant speculations of Space, Time and Deity. "Space and Time as presented in ordinary experience are what are commonly known as extension and duration, entities or forms of existence, in which bodies occupy places, and events occur at times or moments, these events being either external or mental. It would be impossible to omit from a discussion of modern theories of time the view of Alexander. Alexander's own introduction is the best. Similarly, space is only saved from blank negation by time—"Time is discovered to supply the element in Space without which Space would be a blank." Space and Time by themselves are abstractions from Space-Time, and if they are taken to exist in their own right without the tacit assumption of the other they are illegitimate abstractions of the sort that Berkeley censured.
