Before, now, and next
Pastness, presentness and futurity seem to be real features of the world, but are they?
On McTaggart’s philosophy of time
Human minds are wired such that our experiences are always temporal, and that’s why we can’t even imagine a nontemporal world. Nonetheless, the world outside our heads, as it really is independent of us, might be nontemporal. Because we must perceive things in time, we don’t know what things-in-themselves are like.
