Reply to Oaklander

Resumo

In September, 2016, I replied to an earlier draft of Oaklander’s Critique of my view of time for Manuscrito.  Now he has published an extremely complex 50-page expanded version.  There is no way that a reply in a journal could cover all the topics Oaklander discusses.  So, I will stick mainly to my own view to which Oaklander was responding. My reply is in two parts.  In the first, directed at Oaklander’s earlier draft, I say what I want to do in philosophy in general, and in the philosophy of time in particular.  In the second part, I mention some places where he (apparently) misunderstands my view.
