Relativities At Variance
Mogens True Wegener
As one of the rather few philosophers attending the biennial conferences on the Physical Interpretations of Relativity Theory from their start in 1988 until 1998, ten years later, I would like to take this opportunity to assess the import of the various contributions offered by these conferences from a philosophical point of view, in order to give some clues as regards the perspectives of future progress in this field of physics. Throughout the past decade all our conferences have been sponsored by THE BRITISH SOCIETY FOR THE PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE. For that reason it may not seem imposterous for a philosopher to assume this task.
