DL rejects how AP has properties

The philosophers' chorus on behalf of ‘trans-world identity’ is merely insisting that, for instance, it is Humphrey himself who might have existed under other conditions, … who might have won the presidency, who exists according to many worlds and wins according to some of them. All that is uncontroversial. The controversial question is how he manages to have these modal properties. (1986, 198)



A natural reaction to Lewis's challenge is to point out that a proponent of transworld identity who is not a Lewisian realist will typically reject Lewis's counterpart theory on the grounds that his counterpart relation does not have the logic of identity
