This work, the last philosophical study of Keeling's career, leads to the view that the conventional idea of time is mistaken, and that the true nature of temporality is to be found in the nature of change. It describes a world where the present, as the domain of change, is the only reality.
In this work, Keeling leads the reader to the view that the conventional idea of time is mistaken and that the true nature of what we misperceive as temporality is to be found in the nature of change. This work, which was the last philosophical enterprise of Keeling's career, constitutes only part of a more complete work which he had planned. Keeling reviews common views of time and finds that, although in our everyday lives they are satisfactory enough, none of them are satisfactory as philosophical criteria. He describes a world where the present, as the domain of change, is the only reality and the only place where action can occur. He maintains that the successive renewal of "presentness" is the ultimate significance of what we believe in as time.
