9. Objects / F. Identity among Objects / 1. Concept of Identity

17588	We should talk of the transitivity of 'identity', and of 'definite identity' [Inwagen]
	Full Idea: In some contexts, the principle of 'the transitivity of identity' should be called 'the transitivity of definite identity'.
	From: Peter van Inwagen (Material Beings [1990], 18)
	A reaction: He is making room for a person to retain identity despite having changed. Applause from me.
