This paper provides new arguments for the following claim: either (i) strong composition as identity cannot retain the full strength of both the logical principles of one-one identity (namely, Equivalence and Leibniz’s law) and its semantical principles (namely, Coreferentiality) or (ii) it only delivers cases of boring composition in that it entails mereological nihilism.

Abstract

This paper provides new arguments for the following claim: either (i) strong composition as identity cannot retain the full strength of both the logical principles of one-one identity (namely, Equivalence and Leibniz’s law) and its semantical principles (namely, Coreferentiality) or (ii) it only delivers cases of boring composition in that it entails mereological nihilism.
