Thisness
In The Christian God. New York: Oxford University Press (1994)
Abstract
An individual has thisness if there could be a different individual who had all the same properties – i.e. if the identity of indiscernibles does not apply to it. Souls have thisness, material objects might have thisness, but times and places do not have thisness.Author's Profile
