14651	What Socrates could have been, and could have become, are different? [Plantinga]
	Full Idea: Is there a difference between what Socrates could have been, and what he could have become?
	From: Alvin Plantinga (De Re and De Dicto [1969], p.44)
	A reaction: That is, I take it, 1) how different might he have been in the past, given how he is now?, and 2) how different might he have been in the past, and now, if he had permanently diverged from how he is now? 1) has tight constraints on it.
