Drawing on philosophical accounts of identity and individuality, as well as the histories of both classical and quantum physics, this book explores the two alternative metaphysical packages. It indicates how we can make sense of the idea that objects can be non-individuals, suggesting how the results might be extended to quantum field theory.
