Passage Time

项目摘要

There are two different views in current philosophy of time that differ significantly on how to conceive of the so-called passage of time. The notion of passage is different from the concept of time intervals between events. We experience the passage of time in the change of past, present and future, or when we are relieved to have overcome a disease or impatiently expect an event in the near future. The metaphysics of time is concerned with locating this phenomenon within the whole of reality. According to the first view in the contemporary debate, passage is an objective and fundamental part of the world (for instance in the sense that at any given time only the present exists). The second view, by contrast, claims that the passage is merely a construction of our minds, so time in the world of physics does not pass. This project proposes a novel account that preserves correct intuitions of the two standard positions, while it aims to avoid their respective weaknesses. In particular, the project develops a novel theory of how to embed passage into four-dimensional spacetime. In the course of the project we will examine in detail how well the competing accounts explain various phenomena associated with the passage of time. Which account is doing best? And do they fit to other established theories, especially from fundamental physics? These tests should decide the dispute on the correct theory of passage.

当代时间哲学中存在着两种不同的时间观，在如何理解所谓的时间流逝这一问题上存在着重大分歧。通道的概念不同于事件之间的时间间隔的概念。我们在过去、现在和未来的变化中体验时间的流逝，或者当我们为战胜疾病而感到宽慰，或者不耐烦地期待不久的将来发生的事情时。时间的形而上学关注的是在整个现实中定位这种现象。根据当代辩论中的第一种观点，过渡是世界的一个客观和基本的部分（例如，在任何给定的时间只有现在存在的意义上）。相反，第二种观点认为，时间的流逝仅仅是我们心灵的一种建构，所以在物理世界中时间并没有流逝。该项目提出了一种新颖的解释，保留了两种标准立场的正确直觉，同时旨在避免各自的弱点。特别是，该项目开发了一个新的理论，如何嵌入通道到四维时空。在这个项目的过程中，我们将详细研究竞争帐户如何解释与时间的推移有关的各种现象。哪个账户做得最好？它们是否符合其他已建立的理论，特别是基础物理学的理论？这些测试应该决定争议的正确理论的通道。
