| 14018 | Is Sufficient Reason self-refuting (no reason to accept it!), or is it a legitimate explanatory tool? |
| 14008 | The redundancy theory conflates metalinguistic bivalence with object-language excluded middle |
| 14010 | All relations between spatio-temporal objects are either spatio-temporal, or causal |
| 14009 | It is a necessary condition for the existence of relations that both of the relata exist |
| 14016 | The idea of simultaneity in Special Relativity is full of verificationist assumptions |
| 14019 | Relativity denies simultaneity, so it needs past, present and future (unlike Presentism) |
| 14013 | Special Relativity allows an absolute past, future, elsewhere and simultaneity |
| 14015 | No-Futurists believe in past and present, but not future, and say the world grows as facts increase |
| 14007 | How can presentists talk of 'earlier than', and distinguish past from future? |
| 14011 | Presentism seems to deny causation, because the cause and the effect can never coexist |
| 14017 | Since presentists treat the presentness of events as basic, simultaneity should be define by that means |
| 14003 | Time is tensed or tenseless; the latter says all times and objects are real, and there is no passage of time |
| 14005 | B-series objects relate to each other; A-series objects relate to the present |
| 14006 | Time flows, past is fixed, future is open, future is feared but not past, we remember past, we plan future |
