The fictional future
Caddick Bourne, Emily and Bourne, C. (2011) The fictional future. In: PERSP Space and Time Workshop on the Open Future, 2011, Barcelona. (Unpublished)
Abstract
Event synopsis: -What does it mean to claim that the future is open? -Are future contingent statements like "There will be a sea battle tomorrow" now true or false? -Is the claim that future contingents are now true or false compatible with the claim that the future is open? -What is the relation between future contingents and future ontology? -What metaphysical picture is required in order to make sense of the claim that the future is open? Multiple, branching futures? A ‘thin red line’? Metaphysical indeterminacy? Presentism?
