Rating:
Summary: A very good overview
Review: The reviewers before me are of scholars, I am still a graduate student and read this book as a part of a philosophy course material about space and time.

I find that the texts in the book are well chosen and the commentaries are very helpful.

I recommend this book for students and laymen starting their way in the philosophy world.

Summary: Concept of Space
Review: This is a very fine introductory book about the concept of Space from Zeno to Einstein through Aristo, Descartes, Kant. Author, for each segment provides relevant short readings from the original thinkers and a commentary section by him follows. This is a nice book to read before or paralel with Jammer's book on same topic. Author made a difficult subject very easy to understand.
