Time and Change

Time refers to the progression of events from the past, through the present, to the future. In philosophy, the concept of change is closely linked to identity, questioning whether something remains the same despite experiencing changes over time. For instance, as we age or experience life events, we change, yet we still consider ourselves the same person. Philosophers explore these ideas to understand how time affects our existence and identity, leading to discussions about permanence, continuity, and the nature of reality itself.
