Contingent identity and Kripkean counterpart theory

chapter
posted on 2023-06-07, 21:29 authored by Murali Ramachandran
David Lewis's counterpart-theoretic semantics for modal logic accommodates two varieties of CONTINGENT IDENTITY. I argue that one variety, contingent SELF-identity, is incoherent, but the other is fine. I revise Lewis's counterpart theory accordingly. The result is what I call Kripkean counterpart theory.
