This text examines the human tendency to conceptualize events as objects, a process known as hypostatization. The author traces the roots of this phenomenon from prehistoric naming practices to the emergence of conceptual thought in Ancient Greece. A crucial turning point was the invention of concepts, which allowed for the construction of mental representations that fix the identity of changing events. Using the example of a dog, the text illustrates how naming establishes the notion of substance - that which remains constant throughout time despite the visible changes in a living organism from puppyhood to old age. The work illuminates a philosophical tradition that views the identity of true events through their permanence, leading to their objectification and a departure from their processual nature. The identity of a specific event is thus perceived in that which does not change during the course of happenings, whereby philosophical inquiry detaches itself from the contingencies and variability of immediate experience. This approach to events as substantial objects has significantly shaped Western thought and its understanding of identity over time.
