Time and Degrees of Existence: A Theory of 'Degree Presentism'
Royal Institute of Philosophy Supplement 50:119- (2002)
Abstract
It seems intuitively obvious that what I am doing right now is more real than what I did just one second ago, and it seems intuitively obvious that what I did just one second ago is more real than what I did forty years ago. And yet, remarkably, every philosopher of time today, except for the author, denies this obvious fact about reality. What went wrong? How could philosophers get so far away from what is the most experientially evident fact about reality?Author's Profile
