Abstract

Concentrating on different theories of time, this thesis takes as a
starting point the A-series and the B-series as presented by McTaggart
(1908), and as used by philosophers of time during the last century. I
will conclude that both of these series are, not only compatible, but
necessary for the conception of time. A main part of this thesis will
be used to show that theories that point to the incompatibility of the
A- and B-series are flawed: I argue against the mutual exclusion of
the A-series and the B-series.
