 The most popular reply to the puzzle of material constitution is to embrace the conclusion: Lump and Statue exist at the same place at the same time, but differ in their historical and modal properties, so it is possible for there to be two material objects in the same place at the same time. This view is sometimes referred to as the constitution view since it holds that the statue is constituted by, but not identical to, the lump of clay from which it is formed. In a slogan: constitution is not identity (Johnston 1992). Constitution is distinguished from identity insofar as it is an asymmetric relation—Lump constitutes Statue, but not vice versa. Constitution is also taken to be a dependence relation—as David Wiggins (1968, p. 91) puts it, the statue “consists in” and is “nothing over and above” the lump of clay.
