Relativistic Constraints for a Naturalistic Metaphysics of Time [PDF]
arXiv, 2010 The traditional metaphysical debate between static and dynamic views in the philosophy of time is examined in light of considerations concerning the nature of time in physical theory.

In particular, we focus on the orthodox interpretation of the congruence relation, '=', which
