Reginald Chua OP

Summary of doctoral thesis: My project investigates the metaphysics of relative identity: the putative phenomenon whereby two things are the same F, but not the same G, where F and G stand for count nouns referring to objects. I investigate discussions of this phenomenon in Latin scholasticism and in Chinese Buddhism. Specifically, I am exploring the hypothesis that some Latin scholastics and Chinese Buddhists offer resources for a coherent articulation of relative identity.
