Neil Dewar (Cambridge): Symmetries, Quiddities, and Higher-Order Structure - CANCELLED
According to the “Symmetry Principle”, two models related by a symmetry transformation represent the same possibility. According to “Anti-Quidditism”, two worlds related by an exchange of properties represent the same possibility. It is natural to think that these two principles are related; in this talk, I discuss what that relationship is.
