• Sommario/riassunto: The eleven new papers in this volume address fundamental and interrelated philosophical issues concerning modality and identity, issues that were pivotal to the development of analytic philosophy in the twentieth century, and remain a key focus of debate in the twenty-first. Identity and Modality brings together leading researchers in metaphysics, the philosophy of mind, the philosophy of science, and the philosophy of mathematics. - ;The papers in this volume address ; fundamental, and interrelated, philosophical issues concerning modality and identity, issues that have not only been pivotal to
