Nathaniel Baron-Schmitt, Freie Universität Berlin: "Haecceitism Untethered"
Abstract
First, I raise a question: how haecceitistic is modal space? I offer a constraint, “Tethering”.
Second, I pose a problem for Tethering: our modal intuitions conflict with it in cases of “recycling”.
Third, I consider some possible solutions to the problem.
