Abstract

Abstract Craig Callender’s What Makes Time Special? (OUP 2017) advocates and practices an innovative, thoroughly interdisciplinary approach to philosophical questions about time and temporal features of our lives. Grappling with it is of intrinsic philosophical interest; it is also part of responding to the methodological invitation the book issues to philosophers of time. This paper is motivated by the wish to clarify WMTS’s philosophical underpinnings. The main claim of the paper is that WMTS relies on an ambiguity between rejecting the A-theory versus B-theory debate, and endorsing a position within that debate. This ambiguity leads to a somewhat unstable position on how a key feature of manifest time, namely our sense of time as flowing, arises from physical time. The paper ends with a suggestion for how to resolve the ambiguity, in a way that is in line with the gist of Callender’s overall vision for the field.

关于超越ABC
摘要克雷格·卡伦德的《是什么让时间变得特别?(OUP 2017)倡导并实践一种创新的、彻底跨学科的方法来解决关于我们生活的时间和时间特征的哲学问题。抓住它具有内在的哲学意义;这也是对该书向时间哲学家发出的方法论邀请的回应。本文旨在阐明WMTS的哲学基础。该论文的主要主张是,WMTS依赖于拒绝A理论与B理论辩论之间的模糊性,以及支持该辩论中的立场。这种模糊性导致了对显时间的一个关键特征,即我们对时间流动的感觉,是如何从物理时间产生的,有点不稳定。本文最后提出了如何解决歧义的建议,这符合Callender对该领域的总体愿景。
