Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2010. 1 online resource. 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. Includes bibliographical references and index.
