Ontologies: Endurantism vs. Perdurantism
Ontologies are key enablers for sharing precise and machine-understandable semantics among different applications and parties. Yet, for ontologies to meet these expectations, their quality must be of a good standard. The quality of an ontology is strongly based on the design method employed. This paper addresses the design problems related to the modelling of ontologies, with specific concentra...
متن کاملEndurantism, Perdurantism and Special Relativity
There are two main theories about the persistence of objects through time. Endurantists hold that objects are three-dimensional, have only spatial parts, and wholly exist at each moment of their existence. Perdurantists hold that objects are four-dimensional, have temporal parts, and exist only partly at each moment of their existence. We argue that endurantism is poorly suited to describe the ...

متن کاملTrope Bundle Theory
The aim of this paper is that of analysing trope bundle theory, its promises and some of its problems. First of all, it will begin by showing what trope bundle theory is, its development and its undoubted appeal. Then, it will focus on two problems that affect this theory, both concerned with the relation of compresence invoked in order to explain what a material object is by the bundle theory....
متن کاملTrope theory and the Bradley regress
Trope theory is the view that the world is a world of abstract particular qualities. But if all there is are tropes, how do we account for the truth of propositions ostensibly made true by some concrete particular? A common answer is that concrete particulars are nothing but tropes in compresence. This answer seems vulnerable to an argument (first presented by F. H. Bradley) according to which ...
