Abstract The question of what general shape realism about tense should and should not take has been our primary focus so far. But this book ultimately aims to make sense of a tense-realist metaphysics with a particular temporal ontology, one that holds that everything is present. Besides, if the perspectivalist theory delineated in Chap. 5 is to serve as a general framework for realists, it must also be shown how non-presentist realist views are to be characterized against the backdrop of a perspectivalist metaphysics.

Abstract The question of what general shape realism about tense should and should not take has been our primary focus so far. But this book ultimately aims to make sense of a tense-realist metaphysics with a particular temporal ontology, one that holds that everything is present. Besides, if the perspectivalist theory delineated in Chap. 5 is to serve as a general framework for realists, it must also be shown how non-presentist realist views are to be characterized against the backdrop of a perspectivalist metaphysics.
