Over the past few years, the tree model of time has been widely
employed to deal with issues concerning the semantics of tensed
discourse. The thought that has motivated its adoption is that the
most plausible way to make sense of indeterminism is to conceive of
future possibilities as branches that depart from a common trunk,
constituted by the past and the present. However, the thought still
needs to be further articulated and defended, and several important
questions remain open, such as the question of how actuality can be
understood and formally represented in a branching framework. The
present volume is intended to be a 360 degree reflection on the
tree model. The contributions is gathers concern the model and its
alternatives, both from a semantic and from a metaphysical point of
view. "
