论文摘要
A理论家和B理论家辩论“现在”是否与其他时间切片区分开。类似地，人们可能会询问“我”是否与其他角度区分开。很少有哲学家会在肯定中回答第二个问题。 Caspar Hare是一个例外，他专门写了两篇论文和一本书来争辩如此积极的答案。在本文中，我认为那些回答肯定的第一个问题的人 - 理论家 - 也应该在肯定中回答第二个问题。这是因为支持A理论的主要论点更有效，因为参数支持由此产生的合并立场，而反对A理论的主要论点对合并立场无效。
A-theorists and B-theorists debate whether the "Now" is metaphysically distinguished from other time slices. Analogously, one may ask whether the "I" is metaphysically distinguished from other perspectives. Few philosophers would answer the second question in the affirmative. An exception is Caspar Hare, who has devoted two papers and a book to arguing for such a positive answer. In this paper, I argue that those who answer the first question in the affirmative -- A-theorists -- should also answer the second question in the affirmative. This is because key arguments in favor of the A-theory are more effective as arguments in favor of the resulting combined position, and key arguments against the A-theory are ineffective against the combined position.
