Dear all, in the next seminar (Friday the 24th of April) we'll discuss the so called "New Tenseless Theory of Time". It is largely the result of a concession, on the part of more recent generations of B-theorists, that tensed statements cannot be translated into tenseless ones without loss of meaning. I shall briefly discuss again the standard ("Old") tenseless theory. The essential readings for this week are a seminal paper by Oaklander (one of the fathers of the theory) and a critical assessment of the New Theory by William Craig (chapter 3 of his book The Tensed Theory of Time).
