ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses different ways in which philosophers have considered properties’ relation to time. I start with the famous problem of temporary intrinsics as it was presented by David Lewis. Given that Lewis's formulation of the problem set the parameters of the debate about persistence for decades to come, I spend some time uncovering and analyzing the assumptions of the problem. I suggest a more neutral and less skewed formulation of the problem which leaves open different avenues for approaching it, including an appeal to different conceptions of temporal properties. I present some of the familiar strategies that philosophers have employed in responding to the problem of change, and I conclude with a discussion of some recent dynamic approaches.
