Frank Arntzenius - Are There Really Instantaneous Velocities? 

In this 2000 paper from the journal The Monist, Frank Arntzenius discusses the notion of instantaneous velocity, that is, velocity at an instant. Should we reduce this to positions at times? Should we accept it as a fundamental property of objects? Or should we drop the idea of instants altogether? According to Arntzenius, none of the options looks good.
