The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Tim Crane (Cambridge University) on No identity without an entity Tuesday, 24 September, 2013, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT We often think about things that don't exist, and we seem to make judgements about the sameness and difference of such non-existent objects (Hermes is the same god as Mercury). But what does it mean to say that one non-existent object is the same as another? This question was posed by PT Geach many years ago under the label 'intentional identity'. In this talk I argue that there is no such thing as intentional identity, but nonetheless it is true that non-existent intentional objects can be the same as, or different from, other non-existent objects.
