9. Objects / E. Objects over Time / 2. Objects that Change
16059
|
Change of matter doesn't destroy identity - in Dion and Theon change is a condition of identity [Chrysippus, by Long/Sedley]
|
16202
|
The problem of change arises if there must be 'identity' of a thing over time [Hawley]
|
16193
|
'Adverbialism' explains change by saying an object has-at-some-time a given property [Hawley]
|
16195
|
Presentism solves the change problem: the green banana ceases, so can't 'relate' to the yellow one [Hawley]
|
9. Objects / E. Objects over Time / 3. Three-Dimensionalism
16192
|
Endurance theory can relate properties to times, or timed instantiations to properties [Hawley]
|
16196
|
Endurance is a sophisticated theory, covering properties, instantiation and time [Hawley]
|
9. Objects / E. Objects over Time / 4. Four-Dimensionalism
16201
|
Perdurance says things are sums of stages; Stage Theory says each stage is the thing [Hawley]
|
16197
|
How does perdurance theory explain our concern for our own future selves? [Hawley]
|
16191
|
Perdurance needs an atemporal perspective, to say that the object 'has' different temporal parts [Hawley]
|
16199
|
If an object is the sum of all of its temporal parts, its mass is staggeringly large! [Hawley]
|
16240
|
If a life is essentially the sum of its temporal parts, it couldn't be shorter or longer than it was? [Hawley]
|
9. Objects / E. Objects over Time / 5. Temporal Parts
16204
|
Stage Theory says every stage is a distinct object, which gives too many objects [Hawley]
|
16203
|
Stage Theory seems to miss out the link between stages of the same object [Hawley]
|
16205
|
The stages of Stage Theory seem too thin to populate the world, or to be referred to [Hawley]
|
16212
|
An isolated stage can't be a banana (which involves suitable relations to other stages) [Hawley]
|
16213
|
Stages of one thing are related by extrinsic counterfactual and causal relations [Hawley]
|
16206
|
Stages must be as fine-grained in length as change itself, so any change is a new stage [Hawley]
