The substitutional quantifier is not in competition with the standard interpretation [Kripke, by Marcus (Barcan)]

6. Mathematics / A. Nature of Mathematics / 4. Using Numbers / d. Counting via concepts

Are 'word token' and 'word type' different sorts of countable objects, or two ways of counting? [Geach, by Perry]

8. Modes of Existence / B. Properties / 7. Emergent Properties

3291	Emergent properties appear at high levels of complexity, but aren't explainable by the lower levels [Nagel]

9. Objects / A. Existence of Objects / 6. Nihilism about Objects

8969	We should abandon absolute identity, confining it to within some category [Geach, by Hawthorne]

9. Objects / F. Identity among Objects / 3. Relative Identity

16075

Denial of absolute identity has drastic implications for logic, semantics and set theory [Wasserman on Geach]

12152

Identity is relative. One must not say things are 'the same', but 'the same A as' [Geach]

9. Objects / F. Identity among Objects / 8. Leibniz's Law

16073

Leibniz's Law is incomplete, since it includes a non-relativized identity predicate [Geach, by Wasserman]

26. Natural Theory / C. Causation / 9. General Causation / d. Causal necessity
