What are the things that we assert, believe, and desire? The
orthodox view among philosophers is eternalism: these are contents
that have their truth-values eternally. Transient Truths provides
the first book-length exposition and defense of the opposing view,
temporalism: these are contents that can change their truth-values
along with changes in the world. Berit Brogaard argues that
temporal contents are contents and propositions in the full sense.
This project involves a thorough analysis of how we talk about and
retain mental states over time, an examination of how the
phenomenology of mental states bear on the content of mental
states, an analysis of how we pass on information in temporally
extended conversations, and a revival of a Priorian tense logic.
The view suggests a broader view according to which some types of
representation have a determinate truth-value only relative to
features about the subject who does the representing. If this view
is right, successful semantic representation requires an eye on our
own position in the world.
