11919 | Ontological dependence rests on essential connection, not necessary connection [Molnar] |
Full Idea: Ontological dependence is better understood in terms of an essential connection, rather than simply a necessary connection. | |
From: George Molnar (Powers [1998], 1.4.4) | |
A reaction: This seems to be an important piece in the essentialist jigsaw. Apart from essentialism, I can't think of any doctrine which offers any sort of explanation of the self-evident fact of certain ontological dependencies. |
