- Abstract
- One of the central features of the debate about the nature of time is the supposed fact that time passes, or seems to pass. In this paper, I make explicit two distinct usages of "passage" which go undistinguished in the literature: metaphysical passage (according to which time itself has a dynamic element) and felt passage (according to which time presents itself as dynamic in subjective experience). Felt passage, I note, is notably underrepresented in the literature. Accordingly, I give a thorough analysis of felt passage, identifying four elements of experience that contribute to the subjective experience of passage. To demonstrate the usefulness of this analysis, I focus on the implications of just one of the four elements of felt passage on our understanding both of experience and the temporal sequence.
