Abstract
The third chapters provides a general summary of the argumentative structure of my work: My argument proceeds in three major steps and aims to substantiate the following conditional claim: If philosophers are opting for a realistic 4-dimensional theory of persistence, then becoming Real Fourdimensionalists poses a coherent and adequate option. The structure of this essay is as follows: One of the main theories of persistence is 4-dimensionalism. There have been various challenges to 4-dimensionalism; those are developed in this essay and arranged in a taxonomy. Real Fourdimensionalism is a version of panexperiential stage theory and its alleged model of persistence-as-deciding answers the questions raised by the taxonomy.
