Review
For many years to come, this is sure to be the locus classicus with respect to which all those engaged with the literature on persistence must position themselves. (
Kathrin Koslicki, Philosophical Review )
This is simply a superb book in metaphysics - handsomely written, cleverly argued, and exceedingly clear. (
Hud Hudson, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews )
Sider does not deny that this four-dimensionalist conception of persisting things is counterintuitive. His claim is that, all things considered, it yields a more coherent ontology than any of its competitors. His defence of this claim is impressive: bold, clear, wide-ranging and fair-minded; it is the best of its kind on offer. (
