- W54876181 abstract "There is a common approach to metaphysical disputes, which takes language as its starting point, and leads to a view about the range of acceptable metaphysical positions in any such dispute. I argue that this approach rests on accepting what I call the Strong Linguistic Thesis (SLT). In the metaphysical debate about time I argue that the new B-theory has rejected SLT, and for good reasons. The metaphysical debate about modality parallels the early metaphysical debate about time. I argue that a position analogous to the new Btheory of time is available in the modal debate, and has some advantages over its rivals. 1 Analogies Between Time and Modality Analogies between time and modality have often been alluded to in the philosophical literature, for a variety of purposes.1 It may be pointed out there is an analogy between a certain view about time, and a view about modality, the intention being to make either view seem more plausible because of the analogy. Alternatively, an analogy with an allegedly implausible view about modality, for example, may be appealed to in order to cast doubt on some view about time. It seems to me that the analogies that have been discussed fall into two broad, but not unrelated categories. There are linguistic analogies, which I take to encompass both logical and semantic analogies, and there are metaphysical analogies. In the metaphysical realm the view about time known as presentism is often compared with the view about modality known as actualism.2 Presentism is the view that only present objects exist, while actualism is the view that only actual objects exist. This comparison is taken to be favourable to presentism, as actualism is the commonsense view of modality. Conversely, eternalism, the view that all times and the objects that occupy them are equally real, is compared with modal realism, the view that all worlds and the" @default.
