That’s Outrageous

Turri, J. (2013). That's outrageous. Theoria, 79(2), 167–171.

I show how non-presentists ought to respond to a popular objection originally due to Arthur Prior and lately updated by Dean Zimmerman. Prior and Zimmerman say that non-presentism can’t account for the fittingness of certain emotional responses to things past. But presentism gains no advantage here, because it’s equally incapable of accounting for the fittingness of certain other emotional responses to things past, in particular moral outrage.
