第二讲聚焦上帝的性质和最完美的可能世界(the best possible world)的论断,第三、四讲分析莱布尼茨的实体的理论及其与真理的关系,第五讲讨论莱布尼茨的不可分辨的同一性原则(The principle of identity of indiscernibles)以及偶然性的问...
莱布尼茨的本质主义,连同TWI,也不违反莱布尼茨的不可区分的同一性原则(Identity of Indiscernibles):即使莱布尼茨允许个体在其他世界存在,并声称个体的完整概念不可能不同,他最多承诺存在跨世界不可区分者的同一,而非跨世界不可区分者的相异。因此,诸如“没有可能的世界使得‘彼得存在但不犯罪’为真;因此,彼得除了在...

That "A is A" follows from what Leibniz called the Identity of Indiscernibles, which came to be known as Leibniz's Law. In modern times, philosophers use both the Identity of Indiscernibles and the converse Indiscernibility of Identicals, often calling either of these Leibniz's Law. ...
Leibniz's famous Principle of the identity of indiscernibles (Pii) states that no two things are exactly alike. The Pii is commonly thought to be metaphysically necessary for Leibniz: the coexistence of two indiscernibles is metaphysically impossible. This paper argues, against the standard interpr...
Physics and Leibniz's Principles It is shown that the Hilbert-Bernays-Quine principle of identity of indiscernibles applies uniformly to all the contentious cases of symmetries in physics, including permutation symmetry in classical and quantum mechanics. It follows tha... S Saunders - 《K.brading...
