Estranged Notions: Is the Passage of Time Real or Just an Illusion?
Today's post:
Is the Passage of Time Real or Just an Illusion?
Vogt calls the B-theory of time “controversial”, but according to the Philpapers survey the B-theory is much more popular than the A-theory, especially with philosophers of physical science; A-theoryism is correlated with such positions as Aristotelianism, not being a philosopher of science generally or physical science in particular, being a philosopher of religion, belief in libertarian free will, non-physicalism of minds, non-consequentialism in ethics, and so on.

Yesterday's post:
The Big Problem with Sean Carroll’s “Poetic Naturalism”
This is Vogt's argument against Carroll's idea of “poetic naturalism”. He doesn't do a very good job.

Estranged Notions: Why Sean Carroll’s “The Big Picture” Is Too Small
Today's post:
Why Sean Carroll’s “The Big Picture” Is Too Small
Vogt has been promising us his review of Carroll's book for some weeks now, but this is merely an ‘introduction’ to the review; nothing of substance here. The closest Vogt gets to that is the usual knee-jerk criticism of reductionism.
