- catalog abstract ""The central question in the philosophy of time is whether time is tensed or tenseless, that is to say, whether the moments of time are objectively past, present or future or whether they are ordered merely by the tenseless temporal relations earlier than, simultaneous with, and later than. In this book and its companion volume The Tenseless Theory of Time: A Critical Examination, William Lane Craig undertakes the first thoroughgoing appraisal of the arguments for and against the tensed and tenseless theories of time respectively, ranging widely over discussions in the philosophy of language, phenomeonology, relativity theory, philosophy of space and time, metaphysics, and philosophy of religion. The Tensed Theory of Time: A Critical Examination, seeks to discover whether the ineliminability of tense from language and our experience of tense warrants the belief in its objective ontological status or whether the defeaters raised by McTaggart's Paradox and the Myth of Passage serve to undermine any warrant the tensed theory of time might be thought to enjoy."--BOOK JACKET.".
