10. Modality / E. Possible worlds / 3. Transworld Objects / d. Haecceitism

13085	Leibniz is some form of haecceitist [Leibniz, by Cover/O'Leary-Hawthorne]
	Full Idea: Some form of haecceitism is central to the Leibnizian metaphysic.
	From: report of Gottfried Leibniz (Discourse on Metaphysics [1686], §8) by Cover,J/O'Leary-Hawthorne,J - Substance and Individuation in Leibniz 5.2.1
	A reaction: That is, there is some inner hallmark that individuates each thing (though they don't mean the Duns Scotus idea of a haecceity which has no qualities apart from the capacity to individuate). Leibniz thinks essences individuate.
