Four-dimensionalism / perdurantism
Sider, Theodore. “Four Dimensionalism.” The Philosophical Review 106 (1997): 197–231.
- Perdurantism; B-theory of time; Eternalism; Ontological parsimony; Ontological priority
- Sider argues for four-dimensionalism using considerations from vagueness and mereological composition.
- Useful for developing the argument that objects persist through temporal parts rather than being wholly present at each moment. Relevant to the Hikmah account of time, temporal extension, identity, and the ontology of the block universe.
