Abstract

There is no general agreement on whether Gödel’s argument for the nonexistence of time is valid. Nonetheless, if there is even a small chance that this could be the case, it is surely worth considering how the nonexistence of time would change our worldview. In this essay, I want to focus on the question: how would it affect our metaphysics, especially the notion of causality, if we assume that objective time does not exist? I also argue that the best candidate for the metaphysics of the world without time is Leibniz’s monadology.
