This chapter aims to further clarify the book’s position by describing the contradicting position, which is called presentism—understood as “only what is present exists, and the present changes”. Presentism is outlined as primarily characterized by continual destruction due to the passage of time, by its heavy reliance on some kind of “traces” of the past within the present and by its usual conceptual proximity to objects that remain the same as time goes by. The main arguments for presentism are described as the special connection we have to the present, the feeling of loss as time goes by, the joy we feel when bad times are over and the special status of the present as the place where we make decisions.
