He suggests that the best version of the A-Theory is a version of the Moving Spotlight view, according to which past and future beings are real, but there is nonetheless an objectively privileged present. Cameron argues that the Moving Spotlight theory should be viewed as having more in common with Presentism (the view that reality is limited to the present) than with the B-Theory (the view that time is just another dimension like space through which things are spread out). The Moving Spotlight view, on this picture, agrees with Presentism that everything is the way it is now, it simply thinks that non-present beings are amongst the things that are now some way. Cameron argues that the Moving Spotlight theory provides the best account of truthmakers for claims about what was or will be the case, and he defends the view against a number of objections, including McTaggart's argument that the A-Theory is inconsistent, and the charge that if the A-Theory is true but presentism false then we could not know that we are present.0'The Moving Spotlight' defends an account of the open future-that what will happen is, as yet, undetermined-and argues that this is a better account than that available to the Growing Block theory.-- Time Philosophy Presentism (Philosophy) Ontology Ontology (OCoLC)fst01045995 fast Presentism (Philosophy) (OCoLC)fst01763129 fast Time Philosophy (OCoLC)fst01151053 fast http://www.oxfordscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198713296.001.0001/acprof-9780198713296 Uni Basel: Volltext https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198713296.001.0001/acprof-9780198713296 Uni Bern: Volltext BK020053 XK020053 XK020000 Oxford Scholarship Online Philosophy Collection 2015-2016 E-Books von 360MarcUpdates Oxford Scholarship Online IDSBB A145 A145 145VT IDSBB B405 B405 405VT NELB4052004 IDSBB 100 1- Cameron Ross P. author IDSBB 856 40 http://www.oxfordscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198713296.001.0001/acprof-9780198713296 Uni Basel: Volltext IDSBB 856 40 https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198713296.001.0001/acprof-9780198713296 Uni Bern: Volltext SWISSBIB 33998791X
