Abstract
The concept of indiscernibility in a structure is analysed with the aim of
emphasizing that in asserting that two objects are indiscernible, it is useful to
consider these objects as members of (the domain of) a structure. A case for this
usefulness is presented by examining the consequences of this view to the
philosophical discussion on identity and indiscernibility in quantum theory.
