Temporalismo

Temporalismo refers to a philosophical concept that emphasizes the fundamental nature of time and temporal passage in understanding reality. It stands in contrast to atemporalism, which posits that time is an illusion or not a fundamental aspect of existence. Proponents of temporalismo generally believe that the flow of time is real and that events unfold sequentially. This perspective often aligns with our intuitive experience of past, present, and future as distinct and progressing.

Different schools of thought within temporalismo exist. Presentism, for instance, argues that only the present moment is real, with the past having ceased to exist and the future not yet having come into being. Other temporalist views might allow for the reality of both the past and future, alongside the present, within a more dynamic framework of time. The implications of temporalismo extend to discussions in metaphysics, the philosophy of science, and even theology, influencing how concepts like causality, change, and free will are understood. The debate between temporalismo and atemporalism is a long-standing one, with significant arguments presented on both sides regarding the nature of reality and our perception of it.
