Identity and discernibility in philosophy and logic
Review of Symbolic Logic 5 (1):162-186 (2012)
| Abstract | There has been much debate in philosophy about the relation between identity and distinctness on the one hand, and various forms of discernibility on the other. For instance, philosophers have debated the truth of the Principle of the Identity of Indiscernibles (PII), which is naturally formulated using a second-order quantifier ranging over some class of properties of particular philosophical significance | |||||||||
