SUMMARY:Metaphysics & Logic Seminar Dr. Ole Hjortland: Logical Pluralism Without Collapse
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: I will present a new counterexample to the Principle of the Identity of Indiscernibles in the form of a world allowing for incompatible time-lines (or histories). The toy-universe I will be working with will be interpreted according to the Branching Space-Time Theory\, presented for the first time in Belnap (1992). In this sense\, I aim to show that Belnap’s Theory\, when interpreted as a strong metaphysical theory of indeterminism\, admits the construction of scenarios contravening PII. The counterexample I will be presenting will be tested against the three most famous lines of defence of the Principle\, as presented in Hawley (2009): the identity defence\, the discerning defence\, and the summing defence. It will be shown that\, unlike other alleged counterexamples to PII\, it proves successful against all these lines of defence.
