Rather: his counterparts are simply identified by their similarity with him. >Counterpart, >Counterpart theory. They are more like him than other things in their world. E.g. according to the Haecceitism there may be two possible worlds in which all properties are merely permuted. Vs: that would be a differentiation without a difference. III 130 Actualism: middle position between Quine and Haecceitism. >Possible world, >Identity across worlds, >Centered world, >Identification, >Individuation, >Actuality, >Actualism._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
