9. Objects / E. Objects over Time / 2. Objects that Change
23018 How does a changing object retain identity or have incompatible properties over time? [Baron/Miller]
     Full Idea: The problems of temporary intrinsics are reconciling the indiscernibility of identicals with change in an object over time, and the problem of something have incompatible properties over time (such as tired and not-tired).
     From: Baron,S/Miller,K (Intro to the Philosophy of Time [2019], 7.3.1)
     A reaction: Loosely speaking, I would offer some sort of essentialism as the answer to these problems. People are not essentially sitting down, or tired. Or we can relativise properties to times t1 and t2.
