According to the Timing Argument, death is not bad for the individual who dies, because there is no time at which it could be bad for her. Defenders of the badness of death have objected to this influential argument, typically by arguing that there are times at which death is bad for its victim. In this paper, I argue that a number of these writers have been concerned with quite different formulations of the Timing Argument. Further, and more importantly, I show that their objections to the Timing Argument fail as attempts to refute the argument in its most challenging form.

回应时间争论

根据时间论证，死亡对死去的人来说并不坏，因为没有时间对她来说是坏事。死亡的坏处的捍卫者反对这一有影响力的论点，通常是通过争辩说死亡有时对受害者不利。在这篇论文中，我认为这些作者中的一些人关注的是时间论证的完全不同的表述。此外，更重要的是，我表明他们对时间论证的反对失败了，因为他们试图以最具挑战性的形式反驳该论证。
