Partial Identity | Armstrong | II (c) 98f Partial identity/Armstrong: non-mereologically: complex property and relation can be in a whole-part-relation or be overlapping, but not mereologically. - E.g.. the property of having 5 kg weight: then the particular is among other things, composed of several non-overlapping parts, each of which has a 3 kg and the other 2 kg mass. - Here >universals seem correct. - A case of partial identity. Cf. >Identity. |

Partial Identity | Lewis | V 256 Partial identity: nose/man: neither identical nor distinct! e.g. greet/loud greetings: are not distinct from quiet greetings - one cannot be the cause of the other - yet counterfactual dependence - implication of events: not distinct events. - >Counterfactual dependence, not >causal dependence. |

Partial Identity | Meixner | I 48 Partial Identity/Ship of Theseus/Meixner: if the ship survived, a collector could build a second original from the old parts. Both are not identical, but equally good candidates for uniqueness: that is absurd. >Unity, >Uniqueness, >Identity, >Completeness, >Ontology, >Parts, >Part-of-Relation, >Mereology. |

Inflationism | Field Vs Inflationism | II 220 Gavagai/Deflationism/Field: the question is whether the facts about our use of the equal sign determine that it stands for identity instead of partial identity. The normal axioms just make sure that it is an equivalence relation and also a congruence relation with respect to the other predicates of our language. FieldVsInflationism: amplifies the uncertainty. Even if partial identity was a "partial reference" of "=" in a primitive language that contains no predicate "is a unseparated part of", it is likely that the addition of this predicate would then exclude this. Thus, the vagueness of "rabbit" would also be reduced. II 221 These observations are based on an inflationist perspective. Deflationism/Field: reduces the indeterminacy. |
