According to dialetheism, there are some true contradictions. According to the A-theory, the passage of time is a mind-independent feature of reality. On some A-theories, the passage of time involves the movement of the present. I show that by appealing to dialetheism, one can explain why the present moves. I then argue that A-theorists should adopt this explanation. To do this, I defend two claims. First, that the dialetheic explanation is an improvement on the only other explanation available for why the present moves and, second, that adopting the explanation is better than leaving the motion of the present unexplained. Assuming that A-theorists should adopt the best available version of their view, it follows that they should adopt a dialetheic explanation of why time passes.

双神论和A理论


根据二元神论，存在一些真正的矛盾。根据A理论，时间的流逝是现实的一个独立于心灵的特征。在某些 A 理论中，时间的流逝涉及当下的运动。我表明，通过诉诸二真论，人们可以解释为什么现在会发生变化。然后我认为 A 理论家应该采用这种解释。为此，我对两项主张进行辩护。首先，辩证解释是对为什么现在的运动可用的唯一其他解释的改进，其次，采用这种解释比不解释现在的运动要好。假设 A 理论家应该采用他们观点的最佳可用版本，那么他们就应该对时间为何流逝采取辩证的解释。
