Abstract

Here I examine the issue of the spatialization of time, attempts to construe becoming in terms of a "moving now" or of changing relations to the "now", and the "block universe" interpretations. I argue that McTaggart's "A theory" and Russell's rival 'static" or "B theory" of time fail because they presuppose a time in which temporal relations could either change or stay the same.
