Quine's Criterion of Identicality

Quine's Criterion of Identicality states that two entities are the same if and only if they share all the same properties and characteristics. In other words, to determine if two things are truly identical, we check if they possess exactly the same attributes in every aspect. If there is any difference, they are considered not identical. This approach emphasizes that identity is about complete sameness across all relevant features, rather than superficial or dependent factors. It provides a clear, systematic way to evaluate whether two objects or entities are truly one and the same.
