摘要

对于雕像和粘土的谜题，相分论的解决方案声称，作为雕像是黏土的相分性，就像一个孩子是人类的相分性一样。一些哲学家反对这种解决方案，因为它不能解释雕像似乎获得或失去了粘土块没有的部分的情况。我反驳这个反对意见的理由是，与流行的观点相反，这块粘土在流变学上不是恒定的，甚至可能在流变学上是高度灵活的。

The Matter of Coincidence

The phasalist solution to the puzzle of the statue and the piece of clay claims that being a statue is a phase sortal property of the piece of clay, just like being a child is a phase sortal property of a human being. Some philosophers reject this solution because it cannot account for cases where the statue seems to gain and lose parts that the piece of clay does not. I rebut this objection by arguing, contrary to the prevailing view, that the piece of clay is not mereologically constant and might even be highly mereologically flexible.
