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

14647	Surely self-identity is essential to Socrates? [Plantinga]
	Full Idea: If anything is essential to Socrates, surely self-identity is.
	From: Alvin Plantinga (De Re and De Dicto [1969], p.37)
	A reaction: This is the modern move of Plantinga and Adams, to make 'is identical with Socrates' the one property which assures the identity of Socrates (his 'haecceity'). My view is that self-identity is not a property. Plantinga wonders about that on p.44.
