Abstract
In this paper, I will provide a defense for the C series of time. The first chapter of this paper will serve as an introduction that will include what helped provide inspiration for the production of this paper, along with the postulates and arguments that I will be making, as well as a coherently laid out structure for the rest of my paper. The second chapter will in many ways, function as a literature review where I discuss the history of the different theories of time, including how it first emerged from the writings of McTaggart. At the end of this chapter, I will provide a summation of what has been covered along with what else will be needed for the development of my own conception of the C series, in particular how it relates to causality and change. In the third chapter, I will thoroughly explore the different relations and underlying axioms of various time series, highlighting the different components of each that will be relevant to the production of my conception of the C series. The fourth chapter will take everything that has been learned from the previous chapters to provide an explanation for how causality and change can both exist within time as the C series, while still being distinct from it, along with the advantages that this particular view of the C series has over competing theories of time.
