(2015) Temporal points of view, Dordrecht, Springer.
The purpose of this chapter is further complete an approach to Point of View (PoV) that could help us to set up a framework of evaluation and comparison. First, I introduce the notion of PoV as access in order to distinguish the model of accessing from other ways to understand PoV and then taking distance from purely relativist approaches. Second, I provide an explanation and development of some important notions introduced for the applicability of PoV. Third, since PoV allow setting a reference frame from where to evaluate the different objects accessed, I offer a comparison within PoV (independently of their different possible bearers). Since objects and states can be differently evaluated from different PoV, these will be considered as different qualitative dimensions of the world and its objects. They will serve as crucial elements of translation between all possible PoV, establishing degrees of comparison when the translation is not completely at hand.
