9. Objects / E. Objects over Time / 4. Four-Dimensionalism

23788	Four-Dimensional is Perdurantism (temporal parts), plus Eternalism [Williams,NE]
	Full Idea: 'Perdurantism' is the view that objects persist by being composed of temporal parts. When it is commonly combined with the eternalist account of the ontology of time, the result is known as 'four-dimensionalism'.
	From: Neil E. Williams (The Powers Metaphysics [2019], 08.1)
	A reaction: At last, a clear account of the distinction between these two! They're both wrong. He says the result is the spatiotemporal 'worm' view (i.e. one temporal extended thing, rather than a collection of parts).
