In this paper the author would like to present the current research in contemporary analytic philosophy related to the so-called problem of material constitution. This topic was investigated in ancient philosophy, as evidenced by such old puzzles as the Ship of Theseus puzzle, Chrisippus's Dion and Theon, and the Debtor Paradox (also known as the Growing Argument). In addition, Gibbard's fairly contemporary puzzle should also be mentioned here. Theories that try to solve the puzzles can be divided into those that presuppose the so-called 3D-ontology (or substance ontology) and the 4D-ontology (or process ontology). On the other hand, these conceptions can be divided into solutions that assume the absolute character of the identity relation and those that deny it, that is, that relativize identity to various parameters. After briefly discussing the theories of Alan Gibbard, David Lewis, Peter Thomas Geach, George Myro, Ted Sider, Roderick Chisholm, David Wiggins, and Mike Burke, the author tries to specify how Roman Ingarden's approach is related to the aforementioned accounts.
