Endurantism and Perdurantism are the two traditional accounts of the persistence of object through time. In this essay I will compare and contrast these two accounts‚ determine which account is more coherent. Assuming objects do persist through time I will argue that Perdurantism is a more plausible account of persistence and manages to solve Lewis’ problem of temporary intrinsic unlike Endurantism. Endurantism is a limited theory because it is only coherent if presentism is true. What is it for
