Abstract

I argue that the growing-block theory of time and truthmaker maximalism jointly entail that some truthmakers undergo mereological change as time passes. Central to my argument is a grounding-based account of what I call the “purely incremental” nature of the growing-block theory of time. As I will show, the argument presented in this paper suggests that growing-block theorists endorsing truthmaker maximalism have reasons to take composition to be restricted and the “block” of reality to literally grow as time goes by.

积木是如何成长的

我认为，时间的增长块理论和真理制造者最大限度主义共同导致一些真理制造者随着时间的推移而发生变化。我的论点的核心是一个基于基础的描述，我称之为时间增长块理论的“纯粹增量”本质。正如我将展示的那样，本文提出的论点表明，支持真理制造者最大化主义的增长块理论家有理由认为，随着时间的推移，构成是受到限制的，现实的“块”实际上是在增长的。

期刊介绍： Since its inauguration in 1964, the American Philosophical Quarterly (APQ) has established itself as one of the principal English vehicles for the publication of scholarly work in philosophy. The whole of each issue—printed in a large-page, double-column format—is given to substantial articles; from time to time there are also "state of the art" surveys of recent work on particular topics. The editorial policy is to publish work of high quality, regardless of the school of thought from which it derives.
