  According to the Received View identical quantum particles are a previously
unknown kind of objects that do not possess individuality. In this Chapter we
discuss this view, criticize it, and propose an alternative. According to this
alternative view so-called identical quantum particles should in many cases not
be seen as objects (particles) at all. However, there are situations in which a
particle picture does become applicable. But the particles that emerge in these
cases are distinguishable individuals, unlike the particles of the Received
View.
