Single Idea 3323

[from 'Metaphysics: the logical approach' by José A. Benardete, in 9. Objects / F. Identity among Objects / 5. Self-Identity ]

Full Idea

'Existence' can't be glossed as self-identical (critics say) because Pegasus, even while being self-identical, fails to exist.

Gist of Idea

Maybe self-identity isn't existence, if Pegasus can be self-identical but non-existent
