Abstract
In 1976, one of the most important philosophers of the second half of the twentieth century, the American David Lewis, in a famous paper states that time travels are possible. At the end of the 1980s, the American theoretical physicist Kip Thorne, one of the world's leading experts on the astrophysical implications of Einsteinian General Relativity, argues that according to current physical laws there is nothing that a priori prohibits the feasibility of time travels (practical difficulties apart) in some particular spacetimes. In recent decades, time travels have become an increasingly serious, complex and profound topic, available to both philosophical and physical analysis. Torrengo's book, "I viaggi nel tempo. Una guida filosofica", offers a careful overview of this richness and depth, particularly from the philosophical point of view.
