[Objects in Time]

This brings us to the question of the possibility of [knowing] something existing in time. We assume that the thing remains unchanged throughout the duration of the act of knowledge (we do not ask whether or not it is subject to change beyond this duration). In order that something enduring in time can be known in a temporal knowing process, an actual contact between knower and known must be possible (a quodam modo unum fieri [to become somehow one]). For this the knowing subject must transcend itself in and with the act of knowing. On the other hand, the object must be such that it allows a mental contact without itself being so modified by it that what it had been before the modification would no longer be able to be grasped.
