Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In this book, which thoroughly revises and greatly expands his classic work Sameness and Substance (1980), David Wiggins retrieves and refurbishes in the light of twentieth-century logic and logical theory certain conceptions of identity, of substance and of persistence through change that philosophy inherits from its past. In this new version, he vindicates the absoluteness, necessity, determinateness and all or nothing character of identity against rival conceptions. He defends a form of essentialism that he calls individuative essentialism, and then a form of realism that he calls conceptualist realism. In a final chapter he advocates a human being-based conception of the identity and individuation of persons, arguing that any satisfactory account of personal memory must make reference to the life of the rememberer himself. This important book will appeal to a wide range of readers in metaphysics, philosophical logic, and analytic philosophy.…

Pub Year 2004, See images for condition. About the book >.>.> Sameness and Substance Renewed Book by David WigginsDavid Wiggins revises and substantially expands his earlier work *Sameness and Substance*, reconsidering conceptions of identity, substance and persistence through change in light of twentieth-century logic and logical theory. He argues for identity as absolute, necessary, determinate and all-or-nothing, defending this account against rival conceptions. The book develops two further positions: individuative essentialism, a form of essentialism, and conceptualist realism, a form of realism that Wiggins relates to a surviving insight of idealism. In its final chapter, he advances a human-being-based account of the identity and individuation of persons. He argues that a satisfactory account of personal memory must meet the normative requirements arising from its aim of providing direct knowledge of the rememberer?s own past. The book addresses subjects in metaphysics, philosophical logic and analytic philosophy. (LL).…
