Yeah, problems of individuation are ubiquitous. And, as you say, there’s no privileged set. Philosophers are loath to admit this because they think it’ll destroy philosophy. But it’s actually the first step to enlightenment. You just have to ask the right questions. Like: why are we so interested in analysis — in reducing larger individuations (e.g. ideas and concepts) to smaller individuations? And why is there always a gap — a counterexample — such that the parts don’t quite add up to the whole?
