Two very different views are explored. According to one of these views (presentism), advanced by Nikk Effingham, the present is special. Effingham argues that only present things exist, but which things those are changes as time passes. Given presentism, although there once existed dinosaurs, they exist no more, and although you and I exist, at some time in the future we will come to exist no more. According to the alternative view (eternalism), advanced by Kristie Miller, our world is a giant four-dimensional block of spacetime in which all things, past, present, and future, exist. On this view, dinosaurs exist, it is just that they are not located at the current time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book considers arguments for and against presentism and eternalism, including arguments that appeal to our best science, to the way the world seems to us to be in our experiences of time, change, and freedom, and to how to make sense of ordinary claims about the past. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers an accessible introduction to the philosophy of temporal ontology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCaptures the process of philosophical debate, giving readers an insight into the craft of philosophy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEngages with and clearly explains state-of-the-art and cutting-edge research\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nikk Effingham,Kristie Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367615940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367615949\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Nikk Effingham","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136021213439,"sku":"9780367615949","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e9f1c330-1475-43ec-a317-82301b64bcd0.jpg?v=1770159985","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/does-tomorrow-exist-nikk-effingham-9780367615949","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
