Temporal Relations,ntly avail themselves of such relations. In Sect. . we clarify the relation of temporal location by laying down axioms for it, taking into account things in time of various kinds. In Sect. . we first provide axioms for the relation of precedence amongst times, and then use it to define a relation of precedence for things in time quite generally.

Classical Theories of Time, and Relativity,ze D. Zimmerman’s recent attempt to construe the postulated temporal order as being imposed by the contents of spacetime rather than its structure. We argue that this attempt fails to answer the challenge, and conclude in Sect. . that metaphysicians should move on and devise successor theories that no longer postulate such an order.
