Agents of change: temporal flow and feeling oneself act

Abstract Here, I put forward a new account of how experience gives rise to the belief that time passes. While there is considerable disagreement amongst metaphysicians as whether really does pass, it has struck many default, ‘common sense’ way thinking about world. A popular explaining such arises say seems perceptually though Here outline some difficulties for this approach, and propose instead in passing elicited by particular feature agentive . When we deliberately move our bodies, bring something mind, or focus attention, ourselves sources these actions. Sensing oneself source, argue, unique type change experience, one which leads us passing.
