causes this change which corresponds of our ways of thinking of how an object enduring through
change is defined as being present in a whole at each time it exists. The idea of being present is
often described as not having temporal parts. In the concept of change, endurance would be
lasting through time but in a way of temporal parts.
To begin the process of solving the problem of change, we must first inquire the major
problems enduratists have proposed that satisfies how change can affect the illustration of
complementary properties, how the property of change can alter an object’s ability to lose or gain
properties, and to analyze the …show more content…
An alternative argument could factor an object
in a 3-Dimensional universe that undergoes change between objects, properties, and times. If an
object is being bent, then the relationship stands between being bent, the object itself, and and
time. A change to an object’s real property invokes the simpliciter argument. If there was
debate between a perdurantist and an endurantist, the perdurantist would argue that if an object
has a property, no effect would be caused by change or time; just the object itself. However, the
endurantist would theorize the object’s property in relation to time so the theory of simplicter
would be moot. The perdurantist in this case cannot accommodate the same beliefs of an object
than the endurantist. For the perdurantist, an object that remains consistent and has parts being
bent and being straight, it would counteract the perdurantist’s argument of the simpliciter of the
object. If we take in consideration, the shape of the supposed object, the perdurantist would
argue that the perception of a shape would not be 3-dimensional because the shape is not a
simpliciter, rather the perception of the shape would be 4-dimensional. This theory according …show more content…
The notion that shape is a temporal part of an object is based on
a structural aspect invoking the view of a 4-dimensional shape, not a 3-dimensional shape which
are usually accepted by perdurantists. The factors perdurance claims against the endurance fails
in due to the lack of observation that the properties the objects attains, including their shape are
its simpliciters; the perdurantist’s attempts to claim that 4-dimensionalism has no correlation to
time and space reveals a flaw in the perdurance theory.
The endurance account of the change involving the properties of the object weakens the
claims of the perdurance theory due to their belief that an object changing and shifting to
4-dimensionalism will not convey a relationship between time and space. The endurance theory counteracts the claims by proving that 4-dimensionalism is a property matters in change.
Although an object can’t have a 4-dimensional shape at the same time, because shape are
temporal parts this supports the endurantist claims of shape being involved in the change of an
object. The force of the endurance argument also applies to other specific properties that
