Endurantism

Endurantism is a philosophical view about how objects exist through time. According to endurantism, objects are wholly present at each moment of their existence. This means that a person, for example, is entirely the same person from birth to death, even as they change over time. In contrast to other views like perdurantism, which sees objects as extended in time and made up of different temporal parts, endurantism emphasizes that the same object retains its identity despite changes, existing fully in the present at every moment in its life.
