This paper argues that what is currently the most popular version of temporal Fragmentalism—‘unstructured’ temporal Fragmentalism, as I shall call it—faces a problem of Tensed Belief Explosion. Four possible solutions to this problem are reviewed and shown to be wanting; two more promising ones risk fostering scepticism about the existence of tensed facts—hence, about Fragmentalism itself. The tentative moral is that unstructured versions of Fragmentalism are at best unmotivated and at worst seriously flawed.

我们可以相信的碎片主义

本文认为，目前最流行的时间碎片主义版本——我将称之为“非结构化”时间碎片主义——面临着一个紧张的信念爆炸的问题。对这个问题的四种可能的解决方案进行了审查，并表明它们是缺乏的；两个更有希望的人冒着对紧张事实的存在产生怀疑的风险——因此，对碎片主义本身。暂定的寓意是，碎片主义的非结构化版本充其量是没有动机的，最坏的情况是存在严重缺陷。
