Abstract

ABSTRACTRichard Cross has argued that Bonaventure adhered to the view about the diachronic identity of substances that nowadays goes under the name ‘four-dimensionalism’, and according to which substances persist through time by having different temporal parts at different times. The aim of this paper is to argue that this interpretation is wrong, and that Bonaventure was no four-dimensionalist. Along the way, the paper discusses the conjecture that there is a correspondence between contemporary analytic and high scholastic theories of diachronic identity and presents several lines of research that spring from this conjecture.
