About Angus’s Research:

In this dissertation I will seek to outline the notion of personal time and explore its uses and implications in modern metaphysics. Developed by Lewis (1975) as a way of tracking the coordinates of a time travellers parts, I argue that this idea has far reaching implications in many other metaphysical debates.
