Geach I 305
Time/McTaggart: time is an illusion. - GeachVs: if my distinctions between past, present and future would be a false perception of an unchangeable whole, then it remains true that I have different and incompatible illusions with respect to what realities are present.
((s) "I had at the time t another illusion than at time t").
>Present, >Past, >Future.
McTaggartVs: temporal consciousness must not be written temporally itself.
GeachVs: individual temporal impressions need not be written temporally, but their comparison.
Consciousness: must be dimensionless according to McTaggart.
GeachVs: we can also turn our attention backwards.
>Consciousness.

Meixner I 141
Time/McTaggart: B Theory: B Series: the sequence of the time points according to their order is relative to each other
A Series: Past Present Future.
Question: Is the B theory complete or does it have to be supplemented by an A theory?
Meixner: this belongs to the general metaphysics, not to the special metaphysics examined here.
>Metaphysics.
