Additional information
An earlier version of this paper was presented at the New Jersey Regional Philosophical Association meeting of January 1981. I would like to thank Professor Robert Weingard for many stimulating discussions and useful ideas concerning this topic. I would also like to thank the editors of Synthese for suggesting the inclusion of a discussion of exchange symmetry and the spin-statistics theorem, which was missing from earlier versions.
