Скачать или смотреть Fabrice Correia - Persistence by Proxy | IAPT9

Enjoy some of the fascinating talks on the philosophy of time given in Lugano for the 9th Annual Conference of the International Association for the Philosophy of Time (IAPT)!

The yearly meeting of the IAPT is the largest conference worldwide devoted to the philosophy of time broadly construed. The local organisers of the 2024 IAPT conference were Damiano Costa and Cristian Mariani and it was held in Lugano. The program committee was chaired by David Ingram and the conference was sponsored by the Swiss National Science Foundation grants for the projects Temporal Existence (Costa, SNSF Starting Grant, 211294) and Quantum Indeterminacy (Mariani, SNSF Ambizione, 208762).

In this video, Fabrice Correia (Geneva) gives the talk "Persistence by Proxy".

Abstract
I recently developed a new theory of location – the Proxy Theor y of Location – that I wish to appl y to the characterization of endurance / perdurance distinction. At the heart of the theory is a distinction between direct occupants and indirect occupants of a system of regions – which, for the topic I will focus on, will be time or spacetime. The theory appeals to direct occupants called proxies to account for the possibility of multilocated objects, which count as indirect occupants insofar as they get their locations via their proxies. On the view to be developed, enduring objects occupy time indirectly, and it is plausible to hold that at least some perduring entities, in particular events, occupy time directly. Such a view gives meat to the idea that enduring objects and events are connected to time in very different ways – the former existing “at times” and the latter existing “in time”.
