The idea that the metaphor of the present as moving along the temporal dimension could lead to a problematic duplication of time itself has seen many incarnations. In this paper, we will argue that recent versions of the moving spotlight theory can avoid the charge by committing themselves to fundamental temporal perspectives. However, in doing so, they lose the unity of the temporal dimension.

Abstract
The idea that the metaphor of the present as moving along the temporal dimension could lead to a problematic duplication of time itself has seen many incarnations. In this paper, we will argue that recent versions of the moving spotlight theory can avoid the charge by committing themselves to fundamental temporal perspectives. However, in doing so, they lose the unity of the temporal dimension.
