...Alexander W. Kocurek A counteridentical is a counterfactual with an identity statement in the antecedent. While counteridenticals generally seem nontrivial, most semantic theories for counterfactuals, when combined with the necessity of identity and distinctness, attribute vacuous truth conditions...

All of these claims are consilient with the Humean claim.

...), that there is a broadest necessity. One way to define it is: being identical to ⊤, or λp .( p = ⊤), where ⊤ stands for a tautology. 8 But higher-order logic is entirely neutral about the behavior of this operator, except that it is governed by a modal logic containing at least the theorems of S4. 9 For instance...

.... This repositioning would not necessarily change the identity of the resulting infant, and so Shae is Mae. 15. The necessity of identity/distinctness may not hold in Lewis’s counterpart theory of modal semantics. This does not mean that the argument must fail in counterpart theory. Instead of the necessity...

..., let’s look more closely at the way modal rationalists
explain why necessities like “water = H2O” are a posteriori. They argue
that the a posteriority of this identity statement comes from the epistemic
(and metaphysical) contingency of the fact that it is H2O that plays the
role we use to pick out...
