Since the time series is divided into the past, present, and future, tendencies to study these periods have appeared in modern philosophy. One of such theories is presentism, and some people pay close attention to it. It is a trend that denies the existence of anything other than the present. Despite the fact that such a concept has quite a lot of supporters, presentism is a very ambiguous phenomenon, which can not be called completely right and entirely justified.
The ideas of presentism can be called rather limited since it is probably not fully correct to look at the world system only from the standpoint of the present time. After all, the history of our society, like the whole experience of previous generations, is related only to the past, where we all draw our knowledge from. Furthermore, what is real today tomorrow will be the past, and it is rather categorical to deny the reality of the events that have occurred before our very eyes.
Nevertheless, the phenomenon of presentism has a specific logic: it can not be claimed that events in the current time are unreal. However, the theory that completely excludes possible variations of situations in the future and does not take into account the experience of the past can probably be considered only as one of the philosophical trends, but not as the fundamental concept of the universe.
Various attempts to comprehend the complexity of history and the past time, perhaps, served as the basis for the emergence of the ideas of presentism. It is easier for a person to understand and accept the fact that the past can not be returned, and the world is ruled only by the present, where all real things happen. If we consider this phenomenon as one of the metaphysical concepts, then it is rather attractive for studying. Thus, the primary criterion for evaluating presentism is the approach and arguments advanced by its supporters and opponents, and it is possible to assume that there are several interpretations of this philosophical theory.
