ABSTRACT

Call someone a projectivist about spacetime just in case they hold that spatiotemporal properties are not properties of the external world, but instead are misattributed to the world as a result either of our projecting features of our experience onto the world, or our misconceiving the nature of those experiences. I defend a particular version of spatiotemporal projectivism – the view that we misconstrue the nature of our experiences in such a way that we come to believe that we are experiencing a spatiotemporal world even though in fact there are no spatiotemporal relations. I call this view indirect spatiotemporal projectivism.
