ABSTRACT
This chapter engages with the thesis of temporal fictionalism. This thesis is motivated by fundamental, supposedly ultimate physical theories that portray the world as timeless, like quantum gravity. Temporal fictionalism suggests that our everyday temporal thinking is truth-app but false. The metaphysical theories consisting of A-series or B-series or C-series are all in error. The point made is that fictionalism does not adequately tackle mundane temporal thinking. Such thought requires causation, processing of information, and normative agentive considerations. These features are not reducible to the more fundamental physical descriptions. Moreover, even the hypothetical ultimate descriptions involve change. Temporal antirealism about that level should explicate how there can be change without time. The two are, after all, paradigmatically connected.
