Presentism

Presentism is a philosophical theory about time, which posits that only the present moment is real. According to presentism, the past no longer exists, and the future has yet to exist; only what is happening now has genuine existence. This view contrasts with eternalism, which argues that past, present, and future events are all equally real. Presentism emphasizes the importance of the current moment and our experiences, suggesting that our perception of time is inherently tied to the immediacy of the present, shaping how we understand existence and reality.
