{{ParTLP|5.53}} Identity of the object I express by identity of the sign and not by means of a sign of identity. Difference of the objects by difference of the signs. | {{ParTLP|5.53}} Identity of the object I express by identity of the sign and not by means of a sign of identity.

{{ParTLP|5.5301}} That identity is not a relation between objects is obvious. This becomes very clear if, for example, one considers the proposition "(''x'') : ''f x'' . ⊃ . ''x'' = ''a''" What this proposition says is simply that ''only'' ''a'' satisfies the function ''f'', and not that only such things satisfy the function ''f'' which have a certain relation to ''a''. | {{ParTLP|5.5301}} That identity is not a relation between objects is obvious.

One could of course say that in fact ''only'' ''a'' has this relation to ''a'' but in order to express this we should need the sign of identity itself. | One could of course say that in fact ''only'' ''a'' has this relation to ''a'' but in order to express this we should need the sign of identity itself. | ||
