Deconstructing Black physics identity: Linking individual and social constructs using the critical physics identity framework

Identity in Physics and Elsewhere

Is identity a fundamental concept? Of course, it all depends on what it takes for something to be fundamental. For the purposes of this paper, I will consider identity’s fundamentality as exhibiting four features, which, if satisfied, also provide four reasons to think that a fundamental concept is involved (see Bueno [2014]): (1) Identity is presupposed in every conceptual system; (2) it is re...

Culture and Identity: Linking Iranian Identity Components and Cultural Dimensions

Iranian identity cannot be conceived of as a uniform monolithic concept.

Hofstede’s (2001) cultural framework represents a well-validated operationalization of culture based on six cultural dimensions  (power distance, individualism/collectivism, masculinity/feminini...

The physics and metaphysics of identity and individuality

Steven French and Décio Krause have written what bids fair to be, for years to come, the definitive philosophical treatment of the problem of the individuality of elementary particles in quantum mechanics (QM) and quantum-field theory (QFT). The book begins with a long and dense argument for the view that elementary particles are most helpfully regarded as non-individuals, and it concludes with...
