12Identifying identityErkenntnis 25 (3). 1986.Nelson Goodman argues against those who, like Carnap, claim extensional identity is the criterion for correct constructional definition.

We argue that Goodman's criterion itself falls prey to his own arguments or else extensional identity is not shown faulty
