Abstract
AVILA, IGNACIO. RELATIVIDAD, IDENTIDAD Y REALIDAD: RESPUESTA A PABLO ARANGO. discus.filos [online]. 2006, vol.7, n.10, pp.245-260. ISSN 0124-6127.
This paper is a rejoinder to professor Pablo Arango's criticisms. It is argued, mainly, that even Arango's observations to the contrary, essentialism cannot face an interesting version of conceptual relativity, that the argument that goes from rigid designation to essentialism is not conclusive, and that essentialist metaphysics violates the principle of substitutivity of correferring terms.
