Abstract
One of the central problems of quantified intensional logic is the problem of cross-identification. Briefly put, this problem arises when we try to explicate the conditions under which an individual figuring in a possible world is the same as an individual figuring in another possible world.
I am indebted to Ilkka Niiniluoto for helpful comments.
