haecceitas


Haecceitas is a non-verbal term derived from the Duns Scotus philosophy, which denotes the principle of unitary, that is, what makes each particular individual the individual, the individual, the individual or the individual. >

A given object has haecceitas if it does not refer to the principle of identity (identity) of non-distinguishable entities. According to this principle, two individuals are the same individual (they are identical / identical) if they have all the same properties. The term "property" here is understood as a universal (ie, "being identical to John" is not property in that sense; or more precisely, "being identical to X", where X is a rigid designator, is not property in that sense. ).

Thomas Aquinas has proclaimed that it is not possible for a God to exist other than the one who actually exists. According to Aquinas, God does not have haecceitas.

According to Duns Scotus, it is not matter, as Thomas Aquinas, but form is the principle of unitary existence, while there are different forms of different degrees of generality, and haecceitas is the most specific form.
