Leibniz's Principle of Identity of Indiscernibles

ISBN: 9780198811992 出版年：2014 页码：224 Rodriguez-Pereyra, Gonzalo Oxford University Press

Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra presents a new study of Leibniz's Principle of the Identity of Indiscernibles—a principle which rules out numerically distinct but perfectly similar things. He explores Leibniz's definition of the Principle, evaluates his arguments for and from it, and concludes that it was central but inessential to Leibniz's philosophy.
