How Things Persist

Discover the intriguing exploration of persistence in Katherine Hawley's thought-provoking book, How Things Persist, published by Oxford University Press in 2004. With 232 pages of insightful analysis, Hawley delves into fundamental questions about the nature of existence: How do things endure through time? Are they extended across time as they are across space, or is their persistence fundamentally different from spatial extension? This book not only addresses these pressing philosophical inquiries but also contributes to broader discussions surrounding change, vagueness, and the intricacies of language. Perfect for philosophy enthusiasts and scholars alike, How Things Persist invites readers to engage with contemporary debates that shape our understanding of reality.
