Incoherence of the mind-dependence of becoming

William Lane Craig

pp. 167-177

Résumé

In my Tensed Theory of Time, I argued that the B-theorist's objections to the reality of temporal becoming were not insoluble and that, on the contrary, there were positive advantages to be had from adopting a metaphysics of temporal becoming. Moreover, we have seen in chapter 6 that the B-theoretical assertion of the mind-dependence of becoming had little by way of positive argument to commend itself. Now we may supplement those conclusions by showing that the B-theoretical denial of temporal becoming is in fact incoherent.
