The b-theory and theories of direct reference
pp. 97-130
Résumé
We have seen in the foregoing chapters that tensed thought and language seem to necessitate the reality of tense. But all this still leaves us with the B-theorist"s tu quoque argument, one of the most powerful in his arsenal: If the A-theorist"s arguments for the reality of tense are correct, then there must be spatially "tensed" facts as well, which no one will admit. Accordingly, in this chapter we shall examine this final line of defense of the B-theorist.
