ABSTRACT
In section 3.2, it was suggested that an empirical, circular account of the identity of fundamental entities is needed to solve central problems in this area. In the last section, it was said that a theory of the identity of fundamental entities should be developed on the basis of normal cases. But will a consideration of normal cases lead one to an empirical, circular account? I shall start by arguing that it does and then in the following two sections develop such a theory.
