| Summary: |
This paper aims at bringing together two debates in metaphysics that so far have been kept separate: the debate about determinism vs. indeterminism as modality on the one hand, and the debate about persistence on the other hand. Both debates significantly involve talk of things. We will show that working out a proper semantics for singular terms and an accompanying theory of things, motivated by considerations of quantified modal logic, can significantly further the persistence debate. We will use our semantic framework to give an argument in support of the endurantist (3-dimensionalist) position as the best theory of persistence.

| Summary in another language: |
Das Ziel dieses Aufsatzes ist es, zwei metaphysische Debatten miteinander zu verbinden, die bislang unverbunden nebeneinander stehen: die Debatte um Determinismus und Indeterminsmus im Sinne von Möglichkeit de re einerseits, und die Persistenzdebatte andererseits. In beiden Debatten spielt die Rede von Dingen eine wichtige Rolle. Es wird gezeigt, dass eine adäquate, durch Überlegungen zur quantifizierten Modallogik motivierte Semantik für singulare Terme und eine damit verbundene Theorie von Dingen die Persistenzdebatte deutlich voranbringen kann. Im Rahmen unserer Theorie geben wir ein Argument für Endurantismus (Dreidimensionalismus) als beste Theorie von Persistenz.
