Indeterminate Identity: Metaphysics and Semantics 1st Edition by Terence Parsons (PDF)

Description

Terence Parsons presents a lively and controversial study of philosophical questions about identity. Because many puzzles about identity remain unsolved, some people believe that they are questions that have no answers and that there is a problem with the language used to formulate them. Parsons explores a different possibility: that such puzzles lack answers because of the way the world is (or because of the way the world is not). He claims that there is genuine indeterminacy of identity in the world. He articulates such a view in detail and defends it from a host of criticisms.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This book is a codification and expansion of work done in a pair of articles by Parsons and Peter Woodruff on the topic of vague identity. The expansion doesn’t make the work any more convincing, however – especially for those philosophers who find the idea of ontic vague identity suspect to begin with. Nevertheless, it is a decent source for how the Indefinitist may levy vague identity to solve some of those old philosophical chessnuts (e.g., the problem of the many, the ship of theseus, etc.). I’m of the opinion that the “solutions” fail even apart from the dubious coherence of vague identity, but it’s likely to strike some as right.
