More about the book

Exploring the interplay between natural language and reality, the book delves into the metaphysics of time through the lens of A-theory and B-theory debates. Ludlow argues that B-theorists view time as a static sequence of events, while his A-theory perspective, known as presentism, posits that only the present is real, with past and future events dependent on the current state of the world. This analysis provides insights into fundamental metaphysical questions, highlighting the significance of language in understanding temporal existence.
