Persistence realism is the view that ordinary sentences that we
think and utter about persisting objects are often true.
Persistence realism involves both a semantic claim, about what it
would take for those sentences to be true, and an ontological claim
about the way things are. According to persistence realism, given
what it would take for persistence sentences to be true, and given
the ontology of our world, often such sentences are true. According
to persistence error-theory, they are not. This Element considers
several different views about the conditions under which those
sentences are true. It argues for a view on which it is relatively
easy to vindicate persistence realism, because all it takes is for
the world to be the way it seems to us. Thereby it argues for the
view that relations of numerical identity, or of
being-part-of-the-same-object, are neither necessary nor sufficient
for persistence realism.
