What gives things their separate identities?

Asked by flutherother (34554points) December 1st, 2015

Take two stones that are the same in all respects. Are they the same stone? Is the only difference their location (they obviously can’t occupy the same space).

Imagine an exact copy of yourself. You know which one is you as that other one you see is clearly an imposter. Where does your identity come from? In such a situation what makes you authentic?
