DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>[All seminars]&nbsp\;</strong><strong>17:00 to 18:30 pm (GMT+0)</strong><strong>:&nbsp\;</strong><strong><u>https://meet.google.com/odf-sdnr-grw</u></strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p>\n<p>In this paper\, I argue that four-dimensionalists have strong motivation to accept the growing block theory (GBT) of time\, as in doing so they have an attractive account of change: that for an object to change is for it to accumulate new\, qualitatively distinct temporal parts. However\, in accepting GBT\, the four-dimensionalist ought to be an exdurantist (i.e. a stage theorist) about persistence. I argue that perdurantist GBT is untenable because it will often lead to it being the case that it is &lsquo\;ontically vague&rsquo\; as to how many continuants there are\, which goes against how the perdurantist deals with certain puzzle cases of coincidence and persistence. I conclude\, then\, that those who accept GBT and four-dimensionalism should be exdurantists\, as in holding that continuants are stages and not &lsquo\;worms&rsquo\; they always give a determinate answer as to how many continuants there are if GBT is true.</p>\n<p>Link:&nbsp\;https://meet.google.com/odf-sdnr-grw</p>
