尽管这种观点很有吸引力，也很受欢迎，但它认为自然种类的成员资格对个人来说是必不可少的，这一观点没有本质逻辑的支持，也没有令人信服的反思支持。虽然这种观点有很强的直觉和经验支持，但这不足以建立它。放弃善良成员资格对个人至关重要的观点是有好处的。这些优点之一是，它允许以一种消除大部分悖论的方式重新配置物质构成问题。
Despite its appeal and popularity, the view that membership in a natural kind is essential to an individual is unsupported by the logic of essences and has no compelling reflective support. While the view has strong intuitive and empirical support this is insufficient to establish it. There are advantages to abandoning the view that kind membership is essential to individuals. One of these advantages is that it allows for a reconfiguring of the problem of material constitution in a way that removes much of the paradox.
