[MD] The Philosophy of Time and Space

[MarshaV]

Greetings,

Endurantism or Perdurantism?

 From Wikipedia:

	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysics

"If one were to look at a tree one day, and the tree later lost a 
leaf, it would seem that one could still be looking at that same 
tree. Two rival theories to account for the relationship between 
change and identity are Perdurantism, which treats the tree as a 
series of tree-stages, and Endurantism which maintains that the tree 
-- the same tree -- is present at every stage in its history."

My Goodness!  Is there no end to the branches of Philosophy???
