The Indirect Influence of A-Theory on the B-Theory and the Genesis of the New B-Theory
Abstract
The paper aims to analyse those aspects of the discussion between the two opposing approaches to the interpretation of time, A-theory and B-theory which are responsible for the emergence of the new B-theory. The text explains how the implications of A-theory influenced the changes in B-theory and how the failure of the old B-theory resulted in the creation of the so-called new B-theory. The mutual influence of A-theory and B-theory has interesting consequences for the A-theory itself which has been criticised by the new B-theorists for using indexicals in their language. As a result, this research will include a brief overview of this problem. Furthermore, the relationship between the new variants of the date and token-reflexive theory, which have emerged as a direct consequence of the discussion that is the subject of this research, will also be considered. After pointing out the similarities and differences of these positions, the critique of the new B-theory will also be presented s...tating that this theory can in no case offer the correct description of time due to its incompatibility with the semantics of the natural language.
