We view things from a certain position in time: in our language,
thought, feelings and actions, we draw distinctions between what
has happened, is happening, and will happen. Frequently, approaches
to this feature of our lives - those seen in disputes between
tensed and tenseless theories, between realist and anti-realist
treatments of past and future, and in accounts of historical
knowledge - embody serious misunderstandings of the character of
the issues; they misconstrue the relation between metaphysics and
ethics, and the way to characterize the kind of sense which tensed
language has. David Cockburn argues that the notion of 'reasons for
emotion' must have a central place in any account of meaning, and
that the present should have no priority in our understanding of
tense. This allows for a more satisfactory articulation of the
place of past, present and future in our thought, and of the form
which criticism of our thought might take.
