This study is a systematic investigation into the metaphysical
foundations of identity over time. David Oderberg elaborates and
evaluates the most common theory about the persistence of objects
through time and change, namely the classical theory of
spatio-temporal continuity. He shows how the theory requires an
ontology of temporal parts, according to which objects are made up
of temporally extended segments or stages.;This ontology is
criticized as unwarranted by modern space-time physics, and as
internally incoherent. The author argues that identity over time
should be seen as a primitive or unanalyzable phenomenon, and that
the so-called puzzle cases and paradoxes of identity can be dealt
with without recourse to such an ontology.
