Timothy Chambers, "Godel's Time-Traveling Universes: True or 'Refreshing Surprises'?"

In Transcendent Philosophy vol 6 (December 2005): pp. 147-152 In this discussion, I offer further reflections on matters John L. Bell discusses in his "Time and Causation in Godel's Universe" (Transcendent Philosophy, December 2002). Inter alia, I point out that a principled defense of time travel must include consideration of "personal identity"--especially if we appeal to Bell's "ramifying universes" so as to evade the vexing "Grandfather Paradox."

Timothy Chambers, "Time Travel: How Not to Defuse the Principal Paradox"

Is time travel possible in a world governed by familiar physical laws? In this article, Chambers takes issue with one affirmative answer to this question, offered by Peter J. Riggs.

In Ratio (1999): 296-301
