Abstract

The aim of this paper is to argue that some objections raised by Jantzen Synthese 2010 against the separation of the concepts of ‘counting’ and ‘identity’ are misled We present a definition of counting in the context of quasiset theory requiring neither the labeling nor the identity and individuality of the counted entities We argue that contrary to what Jantzen poses there are no problems with the technical development of this kind of definition As a result of being able to keep counting and identity apart for those entities we briefly suggest that one venerable tradition concerning the nature of quantum particles may be consistently held According to that tradition known as the Received View on particles nonindividuality quantum particles may be seen as entities having both features i identity and individuality do not apply to them ii they may be gathered in collections comprising a plurality of them
