Description
In this talk I will present some of the considerations that philosophers make concerning the identity and individuality of material objects, and discuss the way in which the peculiar features of (non-relativistic) quantum entities can be brought to bear on these issues. In particular, I will look at the 'Received View' that quantum particles are non-individuals, and at possible alternatives. Special attention will be devoted to the various ways in which one may account for the properties and statistical behaviour of quantum systems.
