Abstract
In the paper I argue that it follows from David Chalmers’ semantics and metaphysics concerning microphysical terms that microphysical identifications are strongly necessary. This result supports modal empiricism and also counts in favour of a posteriori materialism (and thus against Chalmers’ property dualism), for it blocks the conjecture that a posteriori materialism is committed to strong necessities, but there are no such modalities.
