          Abstract

          Resumen En filosofía de la física y filosofía del tiempo existe una extendida tesis que afirma que nuestra experiencia del pasaje temporal es ilusoria, que no tiene correlato objetivo con el mundo natural de acuerdo a nuestras mejores teorías físicas. En particular, en la medida en que las leyes dinámicas de tales teorías son temporalmente simétricas y no permiten distinguir entre ambas direcciones temporales, la asimetría temporal experimentada debería ser considerada como algo puramente subjetivo. En este artículo argumentaré que tenemos sólidos motivos para poner en duda tal tesis. En primer lugar, no es claro en qué medida tenemos experiencia efectiva del pasaje temporal. En segundo lugar, es cuestionable que nuestras leyes dinámicas sean temporalmente simétrica, y que si lo fueran, que éstas sirvan como argumento en contra de una hipotética experiencia del pasaje temporal.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract In the philosophy of physics and philosophy of time there is a widely-extended thesis according to which our experience of the passage of time is unreal to the extent that it has no objective grounds in nature as described by our best physical theories. Particularly, as dynamical laws belonging to such theories are temporally symmetric, and they do not distinguish both time directions, the experienced temporal asymmetry turnouts to be illusory. In this paper, I shall argue that we have sound reasons to cast doubts on such thesis. For the one thing, it is not so clear to me to what extent we really have experience of the passage of time. For another thing, it is highly questionable that our dy namical laws are temporally symmetric, and if so, that they were useful to argue against our assumed experience of the passage of time.
