Abstract
Abstract: Hegel is commonly thought to affirm Leibniz’s principle of the identity of indiscernibles (PII), which states that no two things are exactly alike. I argue that this interpretation is mistaken: it cannot accommodate passages in which Hegel rejects PII, and the texts cited in favor of this interpretation admit of another reading, which I provide. On my view, Hegel distinguishes between different senses of PII, and the sense of PII he accepts only entails that determinacy is immanent to individuals qua concrete particulars.
