Haslanger and Sider both demonstrate that the problem of change can be formulated in ways presupposing either endurantism or perdurantism, making it dialectically question-begging.

Dialectically question-begging(as a criticism of how the problem of change has been formulated by these philosophers): When someone arguing a position secretly assumes the conclusion they're trying to prove, making their argument circular rather than genuinely convincing; in a debate context, this means one side is unfairly favoring their own assumptions.
Endurantism(Contrasted with views that posit temporal parts): The view that things are wholly present whenever they exist
Haslanger and Sider(as examples of philosophers who have contributed to debates about change): Contemporary philosophers who have written about metaphysics—the study of what exists and how things change over time. You'd encounter their names frequently in academic philosophy discussions about the nature of objects.
Perdurantism(Applied to explain the truth-value of tensed singular propositions across times.): The view that an object is a sum of temporal parts, with different parts existing at different times.
