ABSTRACT The well-known phenomenological argument draws metaphysical conclusions about time, specifically about change through time and the resulting passage or flow of time, from our temporal experience.

I argue that the phenomenological argument is best served by the adoption of a representational theory of perception. I then present a representational theory of temporal experience. |
