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

18570	There may be several ways to individuate things like concepts [Machery]
	Full Idea: Philosophers have rarely explained why they believe that there is a single correct way of individuating concepts. Many entities can be legitimately individuated in several ways.
	From: Edouard Machery (Doing Without Concepts [2009], 2.1.3)
	A reaction: I cite this under 'individuation' because I think that is a very garbled concept. I agree with this point, even though I don't really know exactly what individuation is supposed to be.
