This theory, which has been calledthe theory of timeless truth, is often dismissed on the basis of its allegedincapacity to comply with indeterminism. Here, instead, it will be suggestedthat there is no reason to be dismissive. Section 1 provides some elucidations aboutthe theory. Sections 2 and 3 explain how a foregone objection to it can be resisted.Sections 4 and 5 show that there is a plausible sense in which (i)-(iii) are compatiblewith indeterminism. Sections 6 and 7 dispel some misunderstandings that may leadto think that indeterminism is not vindicated in some important sense otherthan that outlined.},publisher = {Springer},author = {Andrea Iacona}}@
