Vague Identity and Quantum Indeterminacy: Further Reflections
-
This move is not without precedent in the literature: see, e.g., Parsons and Woodruff, 'Worldly Indeterminacy of Identity', §6. Their reasons for questioning the distinction are rather different from mine. E.J. Lowe, 'Vague Identity and Quantum Indeterminacy: Further Reflections', Analysis, 59 (1999), pp. 328-30, sketches a route from vague identity to referential indeterminacy similar to that which I describe below, though he might not be happy with my representation of it (nor with my abandoning vagueness in the identity relation itself)
