New Article by Graduate Student Evan Woods
OSU philosophy PhD candidate Evan Woods has published a new paper “Many, but One” on the problem of the many, in Synthese.
Congratulations Evan!
Here is the abstract:
“Many, but One”
The problem of the many threatens to show that, in general, there are far more ordinary objects than you might have thought. I present and motivate a solution to this problem using many-one identity. According to this solution, the many things that seem to have what it takes to be, say, a cat, are collectively identical to that single cat.
