Summary/Abstract: This paper argues that time travel is possible, and that the paradoxes of time travel are oddities, not impossibilities. The defense of the possibility of time travel involves a commitment to (a) enduring things having temporal as well as spatial parts, (b) psychological continuity and con nectedness and causal continuity as criteria of personal identity, and (c) a distinction between external and personal time.
