Experience and Time
Acta Analytica 33 (4):427-430 (2018)
Abstract
In this discussion, I claim that the debate over ‘the bias towards the present’ turns on an axiological question. Is the value of a present experience greater than its value when past? I argue not and hold that our bias towards the present, understood as a pure time preference, is irrational.My notes
