Bundles, Individuation and Indiscernibility
In a recent paper, Sun Demirli (2010) proposes an allegedly new way of conceiving of individuation in the context of the bundle theory of object constitution. He suggests that allowing for distance relations to individuate objects solves the problems with worlds containing indiscernible objects that would otherwise affect the theory. The aim of the present paper is i) To show that Demirli’s pro...
متن کاملIdentity, Indiscernibility, and Philosophical Claims
The concept of indiscernibility in a structure is analysed with the aim of emphasizing that in asserting that two objects are indiscernible, it is useful to consider these objects as members of (the domain of) a structure. A case for this usefulness is presented by examining the consequences of this view to the philosophical discussion on identity and indiscernibility
متن کاملVagueness, Indiscernibility, and Pragmatics Comments
I am sympathetic with Ms. Burns’ general philosophy of vagueness as a pervasive, multidimensional phenomenon with a variety of sources. I am not, however, all that comfortable with some of the specific arguments she offers in support of this view. In particular, I am uneasy with Burns’ central arguments to the effect that the borderline case variety of vagueness—that which produces the sorites ...
متن کاملIndiscernibility and complementarity relations in information systems
We present logical systems for an analysis of data that have the form of descriptions of some objects of an application domain in terms of their attributes. We analyse two types of relationships among objects referred to as indiscernibility and complementarity. We present a modal logic LIC for reasoning about indiscernibility, complementarity and relationships between them. We define a Kripke-s...
متن کاملIndiscernibility and Vagueness in Spatial Information Systems
We investigate the use of the concept of indiscernibility and vagueness in spatial information systems. To represent indiscernibility and vagueness we use rough sets, respectively fuzzy sets. We introduce a theoretical model to support approximate queries in information systems and we show how those queries can be used to perform uncertain classifications. We also explore how to assess quality ...
