7. Existence / C. Structure of Existence / 4. Ontological Dependence

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.
