Add to ORKGIn the current debate on how ordinary objects persist through time, more than one philosopher has endorsed the following two theses: stage theory and diachronic universalism.

I will also offer a number of rea-sons why, even if it is not necessary to undermine Balashov�s counterex-amples, stage theorists can, without making their theory less appealing, reject Balashov�s understanding of sorts, which plays a crucial role in his criticisms of stage universalism
