Abstract
- The article discusses the argument of four-dimentionalists that their metaphysics is much higher in terms of philosophy than the three-dimensionalists. They believe that the basic philosophical elements of the world are 4D or temporal parts of which familiar objects such as trees and papers exist through time by the fusions of the temporal parts. On the contrary, the three-dimensionalists claim that the world is composed of subatomic particles which have no temporal parts.
