Event/Hintikka: an event cannot be moved in space time. That is, that events can only be identified if the worlds have a common history.
>Identification, >Individuation, >Possible worlds, >Cross world identity.
Event/cross-world identification/Hintikka: an event is relative to a propositional attitude. For this we need a better foundation of the theory.
Identification/space-time/KripkeVsHintikka/QuineVsHintikka/Hintikka: both admit (for various reasons) that space-time continuity does not always have a precise meaning.
SaarinenVsHintikka: the identity of individuals, which occur in several worlds, is not always well-defined for all in this possible world.
Hintikka: dito: in belief contexts it may be that an individual is identified under one description, but not under another.
This must also be the case, otherwise we would be, in a sense, omniscient again.
Possible worlds: we must also be careful to assume a "common reason" from all possible worlds. We certainly do not share a part of space-time, but part of the facts ((s) epistemic rather than ontological).
World/Tractatus/Wittgenstein/substance/Hintikka: in Wittgenstein, the world is the sum of the facts, not of the objects: to a shared space-time this would only be by additional assumptions.
Cross-World Identification/Hintikka: cross-world identification seems lost when we are dealing only with a set of facts ((s) epistemic) and a common space-time is missing.
II 82
Re-Identification: re-identification of physical objects is necessary to get to the cross-world identification later.
