ABSTRACT:
The endurantist is, surprisingly, committed to various metaphysical
positions she may not have thought. For instance, she’s committed to
interesting, and perhaps controversial, views about mereology and is
required to give an account of location. These come out under pressure
from objections and reveal misunderstandings of the endurantist
ontology. I highlight these commitments and what they mean for the
endurantist - for instance I argue that, contra appearances, if
endurantism is true we can have a brick wall that isn’t a composite
object.
This is a student event (e.g. a graduate conference).
