Description

Explore the deep foundations of metaphysics with The Metaphysics of Identity over Time by MACMILLAN. This text provides a systematic investigation into how objects persist through time and change. It offers a rigorous analysis of the classical theory of spatio-temporal continuity, which is one of the most common perspectives on the subject. Readers will examine the requirement of an ontology of temporal parts, where objects consist of temporally extended segments or stages. The book evaluates these concepts by addressing criticisms regarding modern space-time physics and internal coherence. This work is an essential resource for those studying the philosophical nature of identity and the complexities of how things remain the same despite undergoing continuous change.
