Abstract

According to the “received view” the disagreement between endurantism and perdurantism is ontological and concerns the existence of temporal parts of continuants. In a recent paper, (Wasserman 2016) argues that the ontological conception of these theories does not address the crucial point: explaining the way things persist. According to Wasserman, perdurantism is not just the view that things have temporal parts; it is the view that things persist by (or in virtue of) having temporal parts. Moreover, in the last decade an alternative understanding of the dispute between endurantism and perdurantism, the so called “locative turn”, has lead to an understanding of these two theories as concerning crucially locational rather than mereological notions. Our main aim in this paper is to bring together those two revisionary approaches to the received view, and show how they can enrich each other and open up further dimension of the debate. Finally in the last section we focus on some of the non-standard accounts of persistence and location that arise from this approach, such as “autonomism of persistence and location” and “reverse locational endurantism/perdurantism”.

解释、持久性和位置
根据“公认的观点”,持久论和持久论之间的分歧是本体论的,涉及到持续物的时间部分的存在。在最近的一篇论文中,(Wasserman 2016)认为,这些理论的本体论概念并没有解决关键问题:解释事物持续存在的方式。根据Wasserman的观点,持久性不仅仅是认为事物具有时间部分;它是一种观点,认为事物通过(或凭借)具有时间部分而持续存在。此外,在过去十年中,对持久主义和持久主义之间的争论的另一种理解,即所谓的“区位转向”,已经导致对这两种理论的理解,主要是关于区位而不是气象学的概念。我们在本文中的主要目的是将这两种修正方法结合起来,以获得公认的观点,并展示它们如何能够相互丰富并开辟辩论的进一步维度。最后,在最后一节中,我们将重点讨论由这种方法产生的一些关于持久性和位置的非标准描述,例如“持久性和位置的自治”和“反向位置持久性/持久性”。
