Abstract

AbstractI provide a theory of the metaphysical foundations of identity: an account of what grounds facts of the form $$a=b$$ a = b . In particular, I defend the claim that indiscernibility grounds identity. This is typically rejected because it is viciously circular; plausible assumptions about the logic of ground entail that the fact that $$a=b$$ a = b partially grounds itself. The theory I defend is immune to this circularity.
