摘要:The article deals with McTaggart's paradox of time from an ontological point o f view. There are two basic approaches which are usually taken in solving McTaggart's paradox. The most commonly adopted in analytic philosophy is the rejection o f the flow of time as a myth. This position leads to the extreme statement that the world is intrinsically tenseless. The other is the view that temporal passage is a genuine feature of the world and is consistent with an ontology of concrete events. The author endeavours to support the latter position with a discussion o f a nonspatial conception of time. This conception is based on the present being conceived as a „moving Now"
