The metaphysics of time reversal: Hutchison on classical mechanics
British Journal for the Philosophy of Science 46 (3):331-340 (1995)
Abstract
What grounds the standard claim that classical mechanics is time-reversal invariant? Hutchison (1993, 1995) challenges the conventional reasoning underlying the belief that classical mechanics is time reversal invariant and argues that it is not in any well-defined sense. I find a defensible criterion that will exclude his cases, thereby rescuing a sense in which we can say that classical mechanics is time reversal invariant.Author's Profile
