- 요약This dissertation focuses on the nature of numerical identity and its significance in philosophy. It argues that identity has a special role in philosophical theorizing about number and ontology, though not in theorizing about what matters in survival. It also develops and defends a novel account of numerical identity's nature.In "Chapter 1: What Matters When Becoming a Vampire?", I argue that what matters in survival involves multiple independent dimensions of value. This argument proceeds from cases of personal transformation, such as L.A. Paul's (2014) case of becoming a vampire.In "Chapter 2: Self-Interest and Identity," I develop a theory of what matters in survival that captures its multidimensionality. I argue that this account avoids challenges raised by Derek Parfit and Christine Korsgaard.In "Chapter 3: Counting by Discriminability," I bring tools from epistemology and philosophy of language to bear on counting puzzles that arise from accepting ontologically permissive theories - theories on which reality contains a vast abundance of unfamiliar objects, such as mugs that can only exist on Tuesday - and argue that such theories need not overturn our commonsense counting judgments.Finally, in "Chapter 4: The Identity of Necessary Indiscernibles," I propose a novel account of the nature of identity according to which objects are identical if they are necessarily indiscernible. I then argue that this account is preferable to all the extant accounts.
