In this book is a short discussion of the presumed nature of things and objects and the intriguing question of how they persist through time and change, whether as wholes as contended by endurantists, or as temporal parts or stages of the whole object as claimed by perdurantists and exdurantists. The discussion is preceded by a brief excursion into the implications for the nature of reality of the concepts 'existence' and 'being', and of enigmatic 'substance' as bearer of the properties of the things and objects that populate our world. 3
