商品描述

Philosophical thinking about time is characterised by tensions between competing conceptions. Different sources of evidence yield different conclusions about it. Common sense suggests there is an objective present, and that time is dynamic. Science recognises neither feature. This Element examines McTaggart's argument for the unreality of time, which epitomises this tension, showing how it gave rise to the A-theory/B-theory debate. Each theory is in tension with either ordinary or scientific thinking, so must accommodate the competing conception. Reconciling the A-theory with science does not look promising. Prospects look better for the B-theory's attempt to accommodate ordinary thinking about time.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

哲學對時間的思考特徵在於不同觀念之間的緊張關係。不同的證據來源對時間得出不同的結論。常識認為存在一個客觀的現在，並且時間是動態的。然而，科學並不承認這兩個特徵。本篇探討麥克塔格特（McTaggart）對時間不真實性的論證，這一論證體現了這種緊張關係，並展示了它如何引發了A理論與B理論的辯論。每一理論都與普通思維或科學思維存在緊張，因此必須容納相互競爭的觀念。將A理論與科學調和似乎不太樂觀，而B理論試圖容納對時間的普通思維的前景則看起來更為光明。
