The Metaphysics of Time
In The Arguments of Time (The British Academy Centenary volume on Time. Oxford University Press: Oxford. pp. 21–42 (1999)
Abstract
What account is to be given of the nature of time? In this essay, I begin by outlining some of the central metaphysical questions in the philosophy of time and I then go on to set out and defend answers to those questions. The result will be a view of the nature of time that, as we shall see, lies between tenseless accounts of the nature of time and traditional tensed accounts.Author's Profile
