This paper defends the possibility of admitting occurrents in a presentist ontology. Two ways of doing so are proposed, the first one involves Meinongian presentism. By using the notion of non-existent object and coherently modifying some mereological principle, it is argued, the presentist can allow for occurrents. The second proposal involves ex-concrete objects. Ex-concrete objects, i.e. objects that are contingently not concrete, have been used by Linsky and Zalta (Philosophical Perspectives, 8 (Logic and Language), 431-458, 1994), Williamson (2002) in the modal metaphysics debate, by Orilia (Philosophical Studies, 173 (3), 589-607, 2016) in the presentism-eternalism debate, and by Longenecker (Synthese 195 (11), 5091-5111, 2018) in the debate about material constitution. I argue that, just by admitting ex-concrete objects, it is possible to have occurrents even for the presentist. Of course, in order to do so we must modify our definitions of occurrent and continuant. Nevertheless, I argue that my theory is metaphysically sound, at least for the presentist persuaded by the intuitive claim that there are occurrents, which otherwise she must reject.

论出现与存在的存在主义

本文捍卫了承认存在本体论中出现者的可能性。提出了两种这样做的方法,第一种涉及美浓的当下主义。有人认为,通过使用不存在的客体的概念并连贯地修改某些论理原则,当事者可以允许出现的事件发生。第二个建议涉及具体的对象。Linsky和Zalta(哲学观点,8(逻辑和语言),431-458,1994),Williamson(2002)在模式形而上学辩论中,Orilia使用过混凝土的物体,也就是非偶然的物体。 (Philosophical Studies,173(3),589-607,2016)在当下主义-永恒主义辩论中,以及Longenecker(Synthese 195(11),5091-5111,2018)在关于物质构成的辩论中。我认为,仅仅通过接受具体的对象,甚至对于演讲者来说,都有可能发生。当然,为了做到这一点,我们必须修改对出现和连续的定义。但是,我认为我的理论是形而上学的,至少对于表现主义者来说,至少有直觉的说法说服了存在者,否则她必须拒绝。
