On Our concept of time and the modal status of the A- and B- theory.
What is the modal status of the A- and the B-theory of time? Ought we to be
necessitarians or contingentists about these views? This paper examines
these questions by considering a number of different analysis of our
concept of time in order to determine whether, given each different
analysis, one or the other of the A- or B-theory is conceptually
incoherent. It is argued that whether one ought to be a contingentist or a
necessitarian about the A- and B-theories depends on how sensitive one
thinks our concept of time is, to the way our world is. This is because
analyses fall into two broad categories: straight analyses and world
sensitive analyses where the latter are analyses according to which what
time turns out to be is sensitive to facts about the way the actual world
turns out to be and the former are not sensitive in this way. I argue that
on almost all of the straight analyses contingentism is vindicated, whereas
on all the most plausible world sensitive analyses necessitarianism is
vindicated.
