A Process Approach to Presentism: A Route Towards Compatibility with Physical Theory

The aim of this thesis is to develop an approach to presentism that is compatible with physical theory. Central to the achievement of this aim is the development of a suitable ontology for presentism, one that succeeds in internalising the objectively dynamic features of reality. This requires a radical approach to certain entrenched assumptions concerning time, persistence and change that are embedded in the standard metaphysical paradigms within which current debates within the philosophy of time take place
