Social Complexes and Aspects
Is a social complex identical to many united people or is it a group entity in addition to the people?

Composition As Identity
This collection of essays is the first of its kind to focus on the relationship between composition and identity. Twelve original articles--written by internationally renowned scholars and rising stars in the field--argue for and against the controversial doctrine that composition is identity.--Provided by publisher
Hume, Distinctions of Reason, and Differential Resemblance
Hume's Difficulty
Identity, Continued Existence, and the External World
This chapter contains section titled: Skepticism The Imagination Identity Continued Existence The Philosophical System Value of Hume's Account Note References

Abstraction, Inseparability, and Identity
Berkeley, Perception, and Identity
Hume, Distinctions of Reason, and Differential Resemblance
