9. Objects / F. Identity among Objects / 8. Leibniz's Law

12236	Leibniz's Law is an essentialist truth [Oderberg]
	Full Idea: Leibniz's Law is an essentialist truth.
	From: David S. Oderberg (Real Essentialism [2007], 1.1)
	A reaction: That is, if two things must have identical properties because they are the same thing, this is because those properties are essential to the thing. Otherwise two things could be the same, even though one of them lacked a non-identifying property.
