“Thank Goodness That’s Over” Revisited

Garrett, Brian; Joven Joaquin, Jeremiah

Pages: 3 –7

[Arthur N. Prior’s “Thank Goodness that’s Over” puzzle is often used as an argument against the tenseless view of the nature of time. In this discussion, I argue that a defender of the tenseless view can resolve Prior’s puzzle.]
Available

Experience and Time

Garrett, Brian; Joven Joaquin, Jeremiah

Pages: 9 –12

[In this discussion, I claim that the debate over “the bias towards the present” turns on an axiological question: Is the value of a present experience greater than its value when past? I argue not and hold that our bias towards the present, understood as a pure time preference, is irrational.]
Available

Max Black and Backward Causation

Garrett, Brian; Joven Joaquin, Jeremiah

Pages: 13 –18

[In this discussion, I point out that Max Black offers not one but two arguments against the (logical/metaphysical) possibility of backwards causation. Although both arguments fail in their intended aim, they show something important, viz., that defenders of backwards causation should understand...

Dummett on Reasons to Act and Bringing About the Past

Garrett, Brian; Joven Joaquin, Jeremiah

Pages: 19 –29

[My intention in this discussion is to outline and criticise some of the main ideas in Michael Dummett’s classic article “Bringing about the Past”. From Dummett’s remarks we can (I think) reconstruct two sceptical arguments designed to show that it can never be rational to attempt to bring about...

Dummett on McTaggart’s Proof of the Unreality of Time

Garrett, Brian; Joven Joaquin, Jeremiah

Pages: 31 –35

[Michael Dummett’s paper “A Defence of McTaggart’s Proof of the Unreality of Time” puts forward an ingenious interpretation of McTaggart’s famous proof. My aim in this discussion is not to assess the cogency of McTaggart’s reasoning, but to criticise Dummett’s interpretation of McTaggart.]

A Note on the Grandfather Paradox

Garrett, Brian; Joven Joaquin, Jeremiah

Pages: 37 –41

[In this note, I am critical of some aspects of David Lewis’s resolution of the Grandfather Paradox. I argue that Lewis gives the wrong explanation of Tim’s inability to kill Grandfather, and that the correct explanation makes essential reference to the self-undermining character of Tim’s attempt...
Available

Bulletproof Grandfathers, David Lewis, and ‘Can’t’-Judgements

Garrett, Brian; Joven Joaquin, Jeremiah

Pages: 43 –46

[In this discussion, I argue that David Lewis fails to support his claim that (relative to one context) time-travelling Tim cannot kill his Grandfather in 1921. This result, in turn, undermines Lewis’s contextualist solution to the Grandfather Paradox – i.e., conceding that Tim can and cannot...
Available

A Dilemma for Eternalists

Garrett, Brian; Joven Joaquin, Jeremiah

Pages: 47 –51

[In this discussion, I argue that given the possibility of travel to the past, eternalists face a dilemma. They must choose between fatalism and the denial of an intuitive claim about what a traveller to the past cannot do. The eternalist should deny this seemingly intuitive claim which is in...
Available

Identity and Extrinsicness

Garrett, Brian; Joven Joaquin, Jeremiah

Pages: 55 –60

[In this discussion, I criticise Penelope Mackie’s rejection of the so-called “No Extrinsic Determination” principle and suggest that this principle may not be as unattractive as Mackie makes it out to be.]
Available

Best Candidate Theories and Identity

Garrett, Brian; Joven Joaquin, Jeremiah

Pages: 61 –67

[In this discussion, I criticise Andrew Brennan’s attempt to defend best-candidate theories of the identity of artefacts over time against certain now familiar objections. Adoption of a mereological conception of individuals does not, in itself, provide the means for a satisfactory response to...
