The volume concludes with essays on the metaphysics of death, issues in which time and identity play a significant role. The contributors, distinguished authors and rising scholars, first consider the nature of time and then turn to the relation of identity, focusing on the metaphysical connections between the two, with a special emphasis on personal identity.

This volume of original essays brings together these two essentially related concepts in a way not reflected in the available literature, making it required reading for philosophers working in metaphysics and students interested in these topics. Indeed, questions about the metaphysics of persistence take on many of the complexities inherent in philosophical considerations of time. Is time real? Does time flow? Do past and future moments exist? Philosophers face similarly stubborn questions about identity, particularly about the persistence of identical entities through change. Time is an intricate part of our experience - it would seem that the passage of time is a prerequisite for having any experience at all - and yet recalcitrant questions about time remain. The concepts of time and identity seem at once unproblematic and frustratingly difficult.
