Abstract: | In this paper, I focus on three issues intertwined in current debates between endurantists and perdurantists—(i) the dimension
of persisting objects, (ii) whether persisting objects have timeless, or only time-relative, parts, and (iii) whether persisting
objects have proper temporal parts. I argue that one standard endurantist position on the first issue is compatible with standard
perdurantist positions on parthood and temporal parts. I further argue that different accounts of persistence depend on the claims about objects’ dimensions and not on the auxiliary claims about parthood and temporal parts. |
