New paper 🎉
All about the genesis of the Specious Present in Kelly’s (/Clay’s) work.
I suggest that it didn’t serve the purpose for him (vis-a-vis the perception of motion) that is often implied.
There’s also a lesson for contemporary debates re. temporal experience

Heading to Warwick for a workshop on temporal experience, and appropriately enough it feels like I lived here so recently and yet such a long time ago (no doubt exacerbated by the fact that I never lived here with my son).
Looking forward to a fun day of talks (if the weather lets me arrive…)!
