“…Erdvės substancionalumas nėra tas pats, kas dekartiškoji tįsioji substancija. Karin Verelst ne tik įžvelgia Newtono dėsnių kilmę iš jo teologijos, tačiau atkreipia dėmesį, kad Pantokratorius yra vienijantis veiksnys tarp absoliutaus ir reliatyvaus, priežasties ir pasekmės, akto ir potencijos (Verelst 2014). Newtono ir leibnizo diskusijos ištakas Verelst įžvelgia dalies ir visumos, kauzalumo, infinitum successivum ir infinitum simultaneum bei kitų metafizinių problemų sprendimų paieškose.…”

Abstract. the article deals with a controversy between absolutist and relationist conceptions of space and time. Comparison between Newton's and leibniz's theories is drawn. Points of view of other philosophers who took part in the discussion are also analysed. Strong and weak parts of both theories are revealed. the article is not aimed at taking sides in the debate rather it provides the reader with a possibility to construct his own assessment. the publication states that premises of both conceptions of space and time are metaphysical rather than physical. However, this classical debate is still relevant in today's modern scientific context.
