Abstract
Some philosophers believe that the passage of time is a real phenomenon. And
some of them find a reason to believe this when they attend to features of their
conscious experience. In fact this “argument from experience” is supposed to be
one of the main arguments for passage. What exactly does this argument look like?
Is it any good?
There are in fact many different arguments from experience. I am not sure
I understand them all. In this paper I want to talk about the three most interesting
arguments that I do understand. I am going to argue that all three of them fail.
