    Key Terms

    Endurantism(Contrasted with views that posit temporal parts)
    The view that things are wholly present whenever they exist
    Relationally(metaphysics)
    In a way that depends on something else or a relationship between things, rather than standing alone (like how 'tall' only makes sense when you're comparing one person's height to another's).
    Relativizing properties to times(as a proposed solution to the temporary intrinsics problem)
    The strategy of saying a property only belongs to something at a specific moment, rather than saying the thing itself changes.
    intrinsic properties(Contrasted with structural properties revealed by physics)
    Properties which supposedly underlie and account for the structural properties of things.
    simpliciter
