- Title
New Reasons to Motivate Trope Theory: Endurantism and Perdurantism.
- Authors
Benovsky, Jiri
- Abstract
In this paper, I argue that (non-presentist) endurantism is incompatible with the view that properties are universals. I do so by putting forward a very simple objection that forces the endurantist to embrace tropes, rather than universals. I do not claim that this is bad news for the endurantist-trope theory seems to me by all means more appealing than universals-rather, I would like to see this result as a further motivation to embrace tropes. I then also put forward a (more controversial) reason to believe that at least some versions of perdurantism also require tropes rather than universals.
