5.2.2. Evans’ argument

Whatever the advantages to invoking indeterminate identity to solve the identity puzzles, doing so confronts an argument against indeterminate identity due to Gareth Evans.8 To illustrate, let us take as our candidate indeterminate identity to be that of Lizard with Tailless. Let us write x is indeterminately identical with y as ‘I(x=y)’. So, we have:

(1) I(Lizard=Tailless)

Which is to say:

(2) Lizard has the property of being indeterminately identical with Tailless.
