Review of B. Brogaard, Transient Truths (original) (raw)

Mathematical Reviews

Abstract

This book is a significant contribution to the semantics of time and change. The title reveals the author’s option for temporalism, that is, the thesis that propositions can be affected by the passage of time: the backdrop of Brogaard’s research is her idea that propositions can change their truth values over time. This temporalist framework allows for interesting developments in two direc- tions, one more metaphysical in character (in accordance with the subtitle) and the other strictly logical: on the one hand, the book investigates the nature of ‘temporal’ (as opposed to ‘eternal’) propositions; on the other hand, it tries to offer a correct account of the logical form of tensed sentences. http://hdl.handle.net/10171/29695
