Philosophy Of Physics by Tim Maudlin
A clear, rigorous introduction to the conceptual foundations of space and time in physics that analyzes Newtonian spacetime, special relativity, and general relativity, showing how physical theory constrains ontology; it explains the role of geometry and dynamics, defends a form of spacetime substantivalism against relational and conventionalist views, and treats issues such as simultaneity, the hole argument, determinism, and how metaphysical questions about laws and causation should be grounded in the empirical and mathematical structure of physical theories.
