Identity and Change

Identity and Change, within metaphysics, deal with two fundamental questions about the nature of reality. 'Identity' refers to what makes a thing unique or the same over time, while 'Change' grapples with how things evolve or transform while still maintaining their core essence. This leads to a fascinating paradox - if a thing changes, to what extent does it remain the same thing? These concepts urge us to question what 'being' truly means and how transformations (like growth or decay) affect an entity's intrinsic identity.
