Abstract
Michael Dummett's fecund and uncharacteristically brief article A Defence of McTaggart's Proof of the Unreality of Time offers a well-known interpretation of McTaggart's proof, and makes a number of controversial claims about a range of inter-connected theses concerning time and space. I want to sort out what is plausible in what Dummett says from what is not, and identify which theses should be endorsed by A theorists and which by B theorists. It is important, even today, to get clear about these issues and their bearing on Dummett's interpretation of McTaggart.
