Abstract: | In this paper I argue that Gareth Evans’ famous proof of the impossibility of de re indeterminate identity fails on a counterpart-theoretic
interpretation of the determinacy operators. I attempt to motivate a counterpart-theoretic reading of the determinacy operators
and then show that, understood counterpart-theoretically, Evans’ argument is straightforwardly invalid. |
