| Statue/Clay: This is an example for the distinguishability or indistinguishability of the properties of an object on the basis of different characterizations or descriptions of this object. Thus the material of a statue does not have the property to refer to the object represented by the statue at the same time. See also substance, substrate, properties, rigidity, change, identity, identity conditions, description levels._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them. Instead, they are intended to give a short introduction to the contributions below. – Lexicon of Arguments. | |||

Frank I 124 Identity/body/Kripke(1): "A" is the (rigid) name for the body of Descartes. Descartes survived the body.

Analog: a statue does not equal molecule collection. >Rigidity, >Possible world/Kripke, >Identity/Kripke, >Description/Kripke. 1. Saul A.
