This book provides an up-to-date overview of the foundations of
spacetime physics. It features original essays written by world-class
experts in the physics and philosophy of spacetime. The foundational
questions regarding the origin and nature of spacetime are branching
into new and exciting directions. These questions are not restricted
to the quantum gravity program but also arise in the context of a
well-established theory like general relativity. Against the
background of these quick and diverse developments, this volume
features a broad range of perspectives on spacetime. Part I focuses on
the nature of spacetime in non-quantum theories, such as Newtonian
mechanics and relativity. Part II explores some intriguing conceptual
implications of developing a quantum theory of spacetime. The
Foundations of Spacetime Physics is an essential resource for scholars
and advanced students working in philosophy of physics, philosophy of
science, and scientific metaphysics.
