9. Objects / A. Existence of Objects / 1. Physical Objects
14952 Things are constructs for tracking patterns (and not linguistic, because animals do it) [Ladyman/Ross]
9. Objects / A. Existence of Objects / 2. Abstract Objects / a. Nature of abstracta
8647 Not all objects are spatial; 4 can still be an object, despite lacking spatial co-ordinates [Frege]
9. Objects / A. Existence of Objects / 2. Abstract Objects / c. Modern abstracta
10309 Frege says singular terms denote objects, numerals are singular terms, so numbers exist [Frege, by Hale]
10550 Frege establishes abstract objects independently from concrete ones, by falling under a concept [Frege, by Dummett]
9. Objects / A. Existence of Objects / 3. Objects in Thought
8785 For Frege, objects just are what singular terms refer to [Frege, by Hale/Wright]
10278 Without concepts we would not have any objects [Frege, by Shapiro]
9. Objects / A. Existence of Objects / 5. Individuation / a. Individuation
17432 Frege's universe comes already divided into objects [Frege, by Koslicki]
14950 Maybe individuation can be explained by thermodynamic depth [Ladyman/Ross]
9. Objects / A. Existence of Objects / 6. Nihilism about Objects
14927 Physics seems to imply that we must give up self-subsistent individuals [Ladyman/Ross]
14944 There is no single view of individuals, because different sciences operate on different scales [Ladyman/Ross]
14946 There are no cats in quantum theory, and no mountains in astrophysics [Ladyman/Ross]
9. Objects / B. Unity of Objects / 1. Unifying an Object / b. Unifying aggregates
15851 Parts must belong to a created thing with a distinct form [Plato]
9. Objects / B. Unity of Objects / 1. Unifying an Object / c. Unity as conceptual
14928 Things are abstractions from structures [Ladyman/Ross]
9. Objects / C. Structure of Objects / 5. Composition of an Object
14892 The idea of composition, that parts of the world are 'made of' something, is no longer helpful [Ladyman/Ross]
15846 In Parmenides, if composition is identity, a whole is nothing more than its parts [Plato, by Harte,V]
9. Objects / C. Structure of Objects / 8. Parts of Objects / a. Parts of objects
15849 Plato says only a one has parts, and a many does not [Plato, by Harte,V]
15850 Anything which has parts must be one thing, and parts are of a one, not of a many [Plato]
9. Objects / C. Structure of Objects / 8. Parts of Objects / c. Wholes from parts
13259 It seems that the One must be composed of parts, which contradicts its being one [Plato]
14949 A sum of things is not a whole if the whole does not support some new generalisation [Ladyman/Ross]
9. Objects / D. Essence of Objects / 13. Nominal Essence
14951 We treat the core of a pattern as an essence, in order to keep track of it [Ladyman/Ross]
9. Objects / E. Objects over Time / 1. Objects over Time
14958 A continuous object might be a type, with instances at each time [Ladyman/Ross]
9. Objects / F. Identity among Objects / 1. Concept of Identity
16022 The idea of a criterion of identity was introduced by Frege [Frege, by Noonan]
11100 Frege's algorithm of identity is the law of putting equals for equals [Frege, by Quine]
9. Objects / F. Identity among Objects / 3. Relative Identity
12153 Geach denies Frege's view, that 'being the same F' splits into being the same and being F [Perry on Frege]
9. Objects / F. Identity among Objects / 6. Identity between Objects
15847 Two things relate either as same or different, or part of a whole, or the whole of the part [Plato]
9853 Identity between objects is not a consequence of identity, but part of what 'identity' means [Frege, by Dummett]
