A future for presentism
New York: Oxford University Press (2006)
Abstract
How can we talk meaningfully about the past if it does not exist to be talked about? What gives time its direction? Is time travel possible? This defence of presentism - the view that only the present exists - makes an original contribution to a fast growing and exciting debate.Author's Profile
