[Franziska Prohaska · Rating 5 out of 5]

An incredible find and a must read for everyone interested in metaphysics. Very beginner friendly written in dialogue form like old philosophical texts by plato
It includes book tips for further reading after each chapter and a glossary of new learned words and concepts

[Jay Harding · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a fundamental must-read if you are pursuing a life in Physics or Philosophy. I took a class at Western Michigan University around the turn of the millennia taught by Dr. Quentin Smith, and "Time, Change and Freedom" was one of our texts. Dr. Smith is a brilliant thinker, a stellar Professor and a dedicated, driven man.

The content is fabulous. The dialogue is stiff. The book is broken into very managable 'short stories'. It's a good bedtime read.

The dialectical format alone intrigued me so much as to give this book five stars!
