7. Existence / B. Change in Existence / 1. Nature of Change

8198	A 'Cambridge Change' is like saying 'the landscape changes as you travel east' [Dummett]
	Full Idea: The idea of 'Cambridge Change' is like saying 'the landscape changes as you travel east'.
	From: Michael Dummett (Truth and the Past [2001], 5)
	A reaction: The phrase was coined in Oxford. It is a useful label with which realists can insult solipsists, idealists and other riff-raff. Four Dimensionalists seem to see time in this way. Events sit there, and we travel past them. But there are indexical events.
