ABSTRACT
One aim of this study is to defend a theory of the identity of fundamental entities. The authorial correlate theory was offered as an answer to the question “What am I fundamentally?” (question 1). The commitment criterion was defended as an account of the diachronic identity of fundamental entities (question 2). An account of the individuation of fundamental entities must still be developed (question 4). This will be done in Chapters 9-12, with Chapter 9 providing a critique of other approaches. This third part of this book may also be thought of as a test of my account in a central borderline case: can two fundamental entities share a body? I argue in Chapter 10 that they can (the coexistence thesis).
