The papers in this volume address fundamental, and interrelated,
philosophical issues concerning modality and identity, issues that
have not only been pivotal to the development of analytic
philosophy in the twentieth century, but remain a key focus of
metaphysical debate in the twenty-first. How are we to understand
the concepts of necessity and possibility? Is chance a basic
ingredient of reality? How are we to make sense of claims about
personal identity? Do numbers require distinctive identity
criteria? Does the capacity to identify an object presuppose an
ability to bring it under a sortal concept? Rather than presenting
a single, partisan perspective, Identity and Modality enriches our
understanding of identity and modality by bringing together papers
written by leading researchers working in metaphysics, the
philosophy of mind, the philosophy of science, and the philosophy
of mathematics. The resulting variety of perspectives
correspondingly reflects both the breadth and depth of contemporary
theorizing about identity and modality, each paper addressing a
particular issue and advancing our knowledge of the area. This
volume will provide essential reading for graduate students in the
subject and professional philosophers.
