... We cannot hope to prove that this point will apply to all presentist solutions to the truth-maker problem (though we think that it does). What we will do, instead, is consider some of the main contenders in the ... See full document

... Indeed, it seems to me that the best way to model the problem is not, contra my imagined opponent, the truth-maker objection to presentism. In the truth-making case, that a true proposition is true in ... See full document
