Individuative Realism is the thesis that reality is individuated intrinsically—that is, that there exist some objects and/or kinds of objects that are circumscribed by boundaries that are totally independent of our gerrymandering. If this thesis is true, then how do we determine which individuation schemes cut reality at its inherent joints? Since our individuation schemes cannot be compared directly with the way reality is individuated intrinsically without begging the question about the latter, some philosophers argue that a match can only be determined indirecdy, in virtue of an independent criterion. This paper considers a few proposed independent criteria and finds them wanting. The paper concludes by suggesting that such an independent criterion is unattainable in principle.
