9. Objects / A. Existence of Objects / 5. Individuation / a. Individuation

12701	Leibniz moved from individuation by whole entity to individuation by substantial form [Leibniz, by Garber]
	Full Idea: By 1680 Leibniz had clearly abandoned the 'whole entity' conception of individuation, for a conception grounded in substantial form alone.
	From: report of Gottfried Leibniz (works [1690]) by Daniel Garber - Leibniz:Body,Substance,Monad 2
	A reaction: In other words, Leibniz became more of an Aristotelian, and more of an essentialist.

9. Objects / A. Existence of Objects / 5. Individuation / d. Individuation by haecceity

13105	The laws-of-the-series plays a haecceitist role [Leibniz, by Cover/O'Leary-Hawthorne]
	Full Idea: Leibniz takes the laws-of-the-series to play a haecceitistic role.
	From: report of Gottfried Leibniz (works [1690]) by Cover,J/O'Leary-Hawthorne,J - Substance and Individuation in Leibniz 7.5
	A reaction: Idea 13092 for law-in-the-series. He thinks that a law-in-a-series is unique to a substance, and so can individuate it. That is a pretty good proposal, if anything is going to do the job. Perhaps I do believe in haecceities, as unique bundles of powers?
