Summary/Abstract: Kuźniar’s argument against the point-eventistic definition of a thing rests on the fact that its two important conditions — namely the spatial extension condition and the temporal continuity condition — cannot be jointly satisfied. The paper provides a detailed analysis and an assessment of Kuźniar’s objection and offers some strategies in order to overcome difficulties generated by it.
