The Problem of Change of Enduring and Perduring Objects
As we see in contemporary discussions about identity and persistence, we encounter some important problems when the concepts of change and continuity are considered in the same context. In these discussions, some different approaches have emerged about how the relationship between temporal parts is established, how objects maintain their unity throughout the change, and how qualitative continuity can be explained temporally. Thus, in these discussions, some argue that the change is achieved by the correlation of different temporal parts that are spread throughout space-time; and others think that the change can be possible if objects gain or lose some properties in a single space and time division. So, in this paper, we will first focus on the discussion about the change between these two different views. Secondly, as we have seen in the theory of persistence, we will try to show the changing and unchanging aspects of the temporal parts.
