Ch.3 | p.85 | 7566 | The Identity of Indiscernibles is really the same as the verification principle |
Full Idea: Various writers have noted that the Identity of Indiscernibles is really tantamount to the verification principle. | |||
From: Nicholas Jolley (Leibniz [2005], Ch.3) | |||
A reaction: Both principles are false, because they are the classic confusion of epistemology and ontology. The fact that you cannot 'discern' a difference between two things doesn't mean that there is no difference. Things beyond verification can still be discussed. |
