| Long abstract | Perhaps the most famous debate about space and time in the entire history of philosophy occurred in the Leibniz–Clarke correspondence of 1715–1716.1 The English clergyman Samuel Clarke, acting as a surrogate for his friend Isaac Newton, made the case for space and time as absolute, empty containers in which objects reside and events unfold. The great German phi-losopher and polymath Leibniz countered that it is mean-ingless to ask whether the universe could have been created ten minutes earlier than it was, or forty meters further to the west than it was; there is no external spatial or temporal measuring stick that would allow us to claim that everything has been moved as a whole. Instead, space and time for Leibniz emerge from the relations between entities, thus paving the way for Einstein’s breakthrough nearly two centuries later. |
