• Thesis Text:
  1. This is a big subject but, basically, I take a substance to be an individual (relatively) self-standing thing (a particular) that has properties that may change over time.
  2. My specific interest in this topic is whether persons – qua persons² – are substances. This depends what the term “person” refers to. My contention is that “person” is a property (or collection of properties, or an honorific) of a substance rather than a substance in its own right. So, animalism³ would have it that the substance is the human animal⁴, which for part of its existence has the property of being a person.
  3. There’s the question whether the substance-view is inconsistent with perdurantism⁵, whereby individuals are not wholly present at a time, but are “space-time worms”. On this view, for an animalist, a person would be a section (or a collection of sections) of the space-time worm that is the human animal.
  4. But on either view, a person is a phase sortal⁶ of the human animal.

  Further Remarks:
  1. I intend to cover this topic amongst other general metaphysical matters in Chapter 4⁷ of my Thesis.

In-Page Footnotes:

Footnote 11:

• I mention this merely because my analysis – at the start of the section on Endurantism – has a comment to the effect that Kurtz doesn’t mention Substance once in her Introduction, nor is it mentioned in "Haslanger (Sally) & Kurtz (Roxanne), Eds. - Persistence : Contemporary Readings".
• I also opine that 3D involves substances but 4D doesn’t.

Footnotes 14, 16:

• This looks of tangential interest, but as I’ve gone to considerable trouble to analyse the paper, I might as well include it!

Footnote 17:

• If Toner thinks he can defend Transubstantiation there must be something about his theory of Substance.

Footnote 18:

• Compared and contrasted with the earlier "Wiggins (David) - Sameness and Substance".

Footnote 19:

• As I’ve written up the chapters on Leibniz and Spinoza, I ought at least to read the one on Descartes!
