Persistence and spacetime

Balashov, Yuri, 1960-

Persistence and spacetime [electronic resource] / by Yuri Balashov. - Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2010. - 1 online resource.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

How do material objects persist through time and survive change? Are they three-dimensional entities extended in space, or are they four-dimensional spacetime 'worms'? Balashov shows how the theory of relativity supports four-dimensionalism and in so doing illuminates a wide range of metaphysical issues.
