As identity statements, some of these photographs may appear a bit strained.

The same applies if identity statements are necessarily true anyway.

Suffers from theoretical problems, probably the most serious being empty names and identity statements.

This seems to be an a posteriori identity statement.

The Ethical Culture 2003 ethical identity statement states:

For someone who accepts contingent identity statements the following semantic problem occurs (semantic because we deal with de dicto necessity) (Rea 1997:xxxvii).

But in the end of the sixties Saul Kripke and Ruth Barcan Marcus offered proof for the necessary truth of identity statements.

These two ways of imagining the two terms of the identity statement are so different it will always seem that there is an explanatory gap whether there is or not.

Following this line of thought, Kripke suggests that any scientific identity statement such as "Water is HO" is also a necessary statement, i.e. true in all possible worlds.

He rejects this definition because it doesn't fix the truth value of identity statements when a singular term not of the form 'the number of Fs' flanks the identity sign.

Via this secondary intension, Chalmers proposes a way to explain the necessity of the identity statement on one hand, and reserve the role of intension/sense in determining the reference, in the other hand.

As part of his work with the ICA, he led the process and wrote the basic documents for the Co-operative Identity Statement adopted by the ICA at its Manchester Congress in 1995.

An identity statement, indicating the nature and use of the product, by means of either the common or usual name, a descriptive name, a fanciful name understood by the public, or an illustration [21 CFR 701.11].

If CT is the correct account of modal properties we still can keep the intuition that identity statements are contingent and a priori because counterpart theory understands the modal operator in a different way than standard modal logic.

On its internal identity statement, (last revised, December 2011) the organization's mission is stated as "to unlock the God-given potential of children in Egypt, and so equip them to break the cycle of poverty and become change-makers in their communities."

Part of the puzzlement here is because of the limitations of imagination: influenced by his Princeton colleague, Saul Kripke, Nagel believes that any type identity statement that identified a physical state type with a mental state type would be, if true, necessarily true.

The difference between the kind of explanation he rejects and those that he accepts depends on his understanding of transparency: from his earliest paper to the most recent Nagel has always insisted that a prior context is required to make identity statements plausible, intelligible and transparent.

But finding the right contractor is not easy, especially in the Northeast, where metal roofs are still rare - except for commercial buildings where they also help make an identity statement like the famous orange roofs of Howard Johnson's or the aqua roofs of the International House of Pancakes.
