Radical Presentism

Acceptance of a particular principle concerning truth, Truthmaker, and a particular theory about time, Presentism, leads to a problem for past- and future-tensed truths: they lack truthmakers. In this paper I will offer a solution to this problem that will allow both Truthmaker and Presentism to be maintained. This solution aims to avoid some of the pitfalls commonly associated with solutions that posit the existence of certain kinds of properties or propositions, by instead questioning the very nature of past- and future-tensed truths.
