Time, Tense, and Causation
Michael Tooley
Abstract
Defends a dynamic, or tensed, conception of time, according to which the past and the present are real while the future is not. This conception differs from traditional tensed views, according to which tensed facts are more basic than tenseless ones; on the contrary, tensed facts reduce to tenseless ones.
Keywords: causation, direction of time, Special Theory of Relativity, temporal relations, tense, tensed facts, tenseless facts, time
