• @incollection{Iacona2013-IACTT,title = {Timeless Truth},year = {2013},editor = {Fabrice Correia and Andrea Iacona},booktitle = {Around the Tree},abstract = {A fairly simple theory of the semantics of tense is obtained by combiningthree claims: (i) for any time t, a present-tense sentence `p' is either true orfalse at t; (ii) for any time t0 earlier than t, the future-tense sentence `It willbe the case that p at t' is true at t0 if `p' is true at t, false otherwise; (iii) forany time t0 later than t, the past-tense sentence `It was the case that p at t' istrue at t0 if `p' is true at t, false otherwise. 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}}@
