The underlying laws of physics are largely symmetric in time\, and yet time-asymmetric concepts are pervasive throughout different areas of philosophical study. For instance\, causes are believed to precede their effects in time and not vice versa\, our knowledge of the past differs in form from our knowledge of the future\, we believe we can influence the future but not the past\, we dread or look forward to future events but not past events\, etc. This conference looks at time symmetries and asymmetries in physics\, causation\, probability and agency\, and their commonalities.

\n

The conference is hosted by the Centre for Time\, University of Sydney\, and is sponsored by the School of Philosophical and Historical Inquiry\, University of Sydney.
