title = "Eternalism, hybrid models and strong change",
abstract = "My main purpose in this paper is to argue that eternalism in the block universe conception is compatible with change, in a specific sense. After introducing some restrictions and relinquishing some aspects of eternalistic models (such as, for instance, the Parmenidean character sometimes associated with them), we will be able to preserve everything that is relevant to that end. The chance to introduce such restrictions will occur in the context of a possible answer to Niall Shanks (1994), who argues that the classical block universe is incompatible with free will. After rejecting the author{\textquoteright}s arguments, we will introduce hybrid models, which, despite being eternalistic, can accommodate the passage of time and what we call “strong change”. The original contribution of this paper is, mostly, to bring to light the conditions in which a strong change can be introduced in an eternalistic model, and presenting what is gained and what is lost with such a move.",
