In this book Ludlow uses the metaphysics of time as a case study and focuses on the dispute between A-theorists and B-theorists about the nature of time. According to B-theorists, there is no genuine change, but a permanent sequence of events ordered by an earlier-than/later-than relation. According to the version of the A-theory adopted by Ludlow (a position sometimes called presentism), there are not past or future events or times; what makes something past or future is how the world stands right now. 001412220 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001412220 650_0 $$aSemantics. 001412220 650_0 $$aLanguage and languages$$xPhilosophy. 001412220 650_0 $$aTime. 001412220 650_0 $$aMetaphysics. 001412220 650_0 $$aGrammar, Comparative and general$$xTense. 001412220 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001412220 852__ $$bebk 001412220 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/6170.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001412220 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001412220 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1412220$$pGLOBAL_SET 001412220 980__ $$aBIB 001412220 980__ $$aEBOOK 001412220 982__ $$aEbook 001412220 983__ $$aOnline
