Abstract |
"Discussions of the nature of time, and of various issues related to time, have always featured prominently in philosophy, but they have been especially important since the beginning of the 20th Century. This article contains a brief overview of some of the main topics in the philosophy of time -- Fatalism; the Topology of Time; Reductionism and Platonism with Respect to Time; McTaggart's Arguments; The A Theory of Time and The B Theory of Time; Presentism, Eternalism, and The Growing Universe Theory; Time Travel; and The 3D/4D Controversy -- together with some suggestions for further reading on each topic, and a bibliography."

Notes |
Should be a reasonably authoratative summary since it is published on the internet by Stanford University as part of the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
