2.2 Defining Temporal Points of View

What is a TPoV? We can say that a temporal point of view is originated when different explicit non-conceptual contents of a point of view are identified, either non-conceptually or conceptually (or in a mixture of both sorts of identification), as changes of content in relation to distinct positions in an A-series.

The proposal is very simple, but it has important consequences. As we will see, our proposal can make sense of (1) the crucial difference between “histories” and “stories”; (2) the possibility in principle of a “variety of temporal perspectives” regulated by the normative requirement that in the end only one of them has to be the correct one; (3) the existence of “temporal experiences” with relative independence from “temporal concepts”; and (4) the notion of a “non-absolute but not merely subjective either fluent time”, in contrast with a “merely subjective time”. In addition, (5) our proposal would be capable of integrating in a single and unified way many of the ideas of McTaggart, Prior, Kant, Bergson, and Husserl.

We are going to define the notion of temporal points of view (TPoV). But we need the help of a conception of points of view (PoV) according to which any point of view can be seen as having the following canonical structure:

PoV = <B, R, non-CC, CC, Cp> , where1.B is the bearer of the PoV (in personal PoV, a subject like us),
