Properties Cresswell I 117ff
Properties/possible worlds/Cresswell: E.g. in some possibe worlds there is a thing that has both: the property, the largest wooden and the property, to be the most beautiful building - in other possible worlds this thing has only one of the two properties. Then you can see it (description: "The largest wooden building"
a) as a function, the value is in every possible world the thing that is the largest wooden building
b) as a function whose value is the most beautiful.
Contingent identity fails because from f(w) = g(w) does not follow f = g.
>Identity.
For necessary identity see: >Identity/Kripke.
