# Presentism, Eternalism, and Phenomenal Change **Opening (not a real abstract):** Presentism, Eternalism, and Phenomenal Change Michael Pelczar Normally, when we notice a change taking place, our conscious experience has a corresponding quality of phenomenal change. Here it is argued that one’s experience can have this quality at or during a time when there is no change in which phenomenal properties one instantiates. This undermines a number of otherwise forceful arguments against leading metaphysical theories of change, but also requires these theories to construe change as a secondary quality, akin to color. **Authors:** [[Michael Pelczar]]
