The thesis that identity is always relative to. . . a criterion seems to me a truism, like Frege’s connected thesis that a number is always relative to a Begriff. It is as nonsensical to speak of identification apart from identifying some kind of thing, as to speak of counting apart from counting some kind of thing. A numerical word demands completion with a count noun; similarly for ‘the same’ and ‘another’
