 Objection 8: We can solve the paradox of 101 Dalmatians by appeal to a notion of “almost identity” (Lewis 1993). We can admit, in light of the “problem of the many” (Unger 1980), that the 101 dog parts are dogs, but we can also affirm that the 101 dogs are not many; for they are “almost one.” Almost-identity is not a relation of indiscernibility, since it is not transitive, and so it differs from relative identity. It is a matter of negligible difference. A series of negligible differences can add up to one that is not negligible.
