Further complications were also generated by the variations in terminology among several authors, and the various criteria of identity and distinctness applied by them in introducing various different notions of identity and distinctness.
Second, this paper argues that the further arguments for cognitive distinctness proffered by Galle and Kroes founder on illogicality and/or too shallow an understanding of scientific process.
Lyga embraced the ethos of the L.A. street cop, a breed distinguished not so much by race, or even by gender, as by distinctness from the "insiders," or "bun boys" — officers who make their way to command positions through desk jobs and adjutancy.
Rather, on her view knowledge and belief are ideas that are distinguished by origin, clarity, distinctness, and the means by which they are affirmed.
Second, it isn't that clear that we always count by distinctness, in the way López de Sa suggests.
She takes pains to make her characters distinct, even as she drops hints that this distinctness isn't noticed by the people who know them best.
The statistical significance of an identified genome is determined not only by its G j, but also by the distinctness of the genome in the database.
On his account, the identity sign disappears in a full analysis of language, wherein sameness and distinction are shown by sameness and distinctness of names, no two of which refer, in fully analysed language, to the same object (this view gives grounds for interpreting mathematical utterances in the Tractatus as unsinnig).
On Stampe's view, this distinctness is best demonstrated by the fact that it is consistent to claim to believe that something is good while it does not seem good (i.e., is not wanted), but it is not consistent to claim to desire something while it does not seem good (i.e., is not wanted).
The relation between the criterion of identity for Fs and the criterion of application for the concept F (the standard for the application of the concept to an individual) is then that to be an F is just to be something for which questions of identity and distinctness are to settled by appeal to the criterion of identity for Fs.
