Author’s Introduction

1. In a number of places David Lewis has argued that the problem of temporary intrinsics¹ rules out the possibility that objects endure through change₂.
2. Lewis maintains that to account for temporary intrinsics³ we should say that objects do not endure through change, but rather perdure₄.
3. I disagree; Lewis's arguments do not demonstrate that an endurance theory cannot accommodate temporary intrinsics⁵.
