Other Times : Philosophical Perspectives on Past, Present and Future
Overview
Current approaches to the question of our position in time--such as those seen in disputes between tensed and tenseless theories, and between realist and anti-realist treatments of past and future--misconstrue the relation between metaphysics and ethics, and the way to characterize the kind of sense which tensed language has. In this original and thought-provoking study, David Cockburn argues that the notion of "reasons for emotion" must have a central place in any account of meaning, and that the present should have no priority in our understanding of tense.
