13404	To exist necessarily is to have an essence whose own essence must be instantiated [Jubien]
	Full Idea: For a thing to exist necessarily is for it to have an entity-essence whose own entity-essence entails being instantiated.
	From: Michael Jubien (Possibility [2009], 6.4)
	A reaction: This is the culmination of a lengthy discussion, and is not immediately persuasive. For Jubien the analysis rests on a platonist view of properties, which doesn't help.
