Identity, indiscernibility, and philosophical claims

Décio Krause Antonio Mariano Nogueira Coelho

pp. 191-210

Abstract

The concept of indiscernibility in a structure is analysed with the aim of emphasizing that in asserting that two objects are indiscernible, it is useful to consider these objects as members of (the domain of) a structure. A case for this usefulness is presented by examining the consequences of this view to the philosophical discussion on identity and indiscernibility in quantum theory.
