Moreover, given a natural understanding of “actual future”, (3) it is perfectly sensible for open futurists to hold that a unique, objectively actual future exists, contrary to a common assumption in the current debate. The paper argues that, to address the new challenges, (branching-time) open futurists must (1) adopt an objective, non-perspectival notion of actuality and (2) subscribe to an A-theoretic, dynamic conception of reality. This paper introduces two challenges to branching-time open futurism, which are similar in spirit to a challenge posed by Fine to (standard) tense realism. Many open futurists hold a branching conception of time, in which a variety of possible futures exist. Open futurism is the indeterministic position according to which the future is ‘open’, i.e., there is now no fact of the matter as to what future contingent events will actually obtain. Idea of a true future defended by Ockham and Molina. Turns out that there several such theorieswhich may all be said to support the classical It isĭemonstrated that it is in fact possible to establish a consistent TRL theory. To respond to the challenges from Belnap and others in a reasonable manner. In this paper I argue that it is possible Have considered this traditional idea introducing the term, “the thin red line” (TRL),Īrguing that this idea is rather problematic. Obviously, this idea corresponds to an important notion defended byĬlassical writers such asWilliam of Ockham and Luis de Molina. In some of his early papers Prior suggested the idea of Who have contributed to the further exploration of the tense-logical systems as seen Nuel Belnap is one of the most important writers To obtain a clear understanding of the consequences of accepting the doctrines of Prior the use of temporal logic makes it possible
