Presentism and the Sceptical Challenge

ABSTRACT

Even hard-core metaphysicians should admit that certain disputes may indeed turn out not to be substantive. The debate between presentism and eternalism has recently come under sceptical attack. The aim of the paper is to argue that a certain approach to presentism is indeed in danger of succumbing to the sceptic, and thus a no-go for the presentist.

Keywords:
Ontology of Time; Eternalism; Presentism
