Identity questions from quantum theory
pp. 39-46
Abstract
To what extent does quantum mechanics give rise to violations of Leibniz" theory of identity? This is a highly controversial problem. With different arguments, the question has been positively answered by Margenau, van Fraassen, Mittelstaedt, da Costa, Krause and other scholars. A negative answer, instead, has been defended by Aerts, Piron, Costantini, Garibaldi.
