ABSTRACT

In the last two chapters I set out to discredit three discreditable inferences often drawn from the B-theory of time. Now I set out to discredit the rival A-theory by discrediting its account of change. Change is clearly of time’s essence, and many have thought it the downfall of all B-theories-that only an A-theory can account for it. In fact the opposite is true. What disproves all A-theories is a contradiction inherent in their concept of change.
