No one has weighed in yet. Be the first to share reasons for or against this statement.

Determinate content(describing whether beliefs have one clear meaning): Meaning that is fixed and specific, rather than vague or open to multiple interpretations.
Identity(Adams treats identity statements as a variety of atomic formula rather than a logical truth exempt from existence presuppositions): A relation between an object and itself, expressed as an atomic formula (a=a), subject to the same existence-entailment conditions as other atomic predicates under GSA
Reductionism(The second dogma identified in Quine's "Two Dogmas of Empiricism" (1953, 20)): The belief that each meaningful statement is equivalent to some construct upon terms which refer to immediate experience.
bodily identity(as used in metaphysics): The claim that what makes you 'you' is simply your physical body and nothing more.
