The principle of the identity of indiscernibles and quantum mechanics
Philosophy of Science 77 (1):117-136 (2010)
Abstract
It is argued that recent discussion of the principle of the identity of indiscernibles (PII) and quantum mechanics has lost sight of the broader philosophical motivation and significance of PII and that the `received view' of the status of PII in the light of quantum mechanics survives recent criticisms of it by Muller, Saunders, and Seevinck.Author Profiles
