Philosophy Essay HOmework
Explain in some detail one of the two puzzles of establishments discussed by Korman.
These puzzles turn on materialist assumptions about some familiar things. What is it to be material? One of the features of material things is that they exist in space. Just as there are puzzles about existing in space, there are puzzles about existing in time. Make clear the two standard accounts of how things persist, that is, exist in time. What is it to endure? What is it to perdure? Give an account of the puzzle of change. What are the intuitions that give rise to this puzzle? Discuss why the two standard responses to it are supposed to be problematic. (Tie your discussion here into your answer to the previous question about the relevant intuitions.)
Many philosophers have noticed that the so-called puzzle of change rests on a controversial view of the world in time. Explain this view, making clear the similarity between time and space according to it. Hinchliff claims that the puzzle of change can be solved by accepting a different view of the world in time. Make clear this alternative view.
What are some of the obvious problems with it? Tallant, discussed in the Baron paper, argues that presentism and endurantism are incompatible. State his argument. How does this argument pertain to the puzzle of change? Is Tallant's argument compelling?
