The book argues against a \u003ci\u003eprima\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003efacie\u003c\/i\u003e plausible view that everything that is individual is individual by itself and not by anything distinct from it (\u003ci\u003eStrong Self-Individuation Thesis\u003c\/i\u003e). The keynote topic of the book is a detailed analysis of the two competing ways of rejecting the Strong Self-Individuation Thesis: the Scotistic and the Thomistic one. The book defends the latter one, discussing a number of issues concerning substantial and accidental forms, essences, properties, instantiation, the Thomistic notion of \u003ci\u003emateria signata\u003c\/i\u003e, Frege's \u003ci\u003eBegriff-Gegenstand \u003c\/i\u003edistinction, and Geach's form-function analogy developed in his writings on Aquinas.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the context of both the scholastic and contemporary metaphysics, the book offers a framework for dealing with issues of individuality and defends a Thomistic theory of individuation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110611700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.41d","brand":"Michal Glowala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51894799302837,"sku":"9783110611700","price":25.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_a0d87f96-28d3-4792-a0d2-9866dcb52225.jpg?v=1760491291","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/singleness-self-individuation-and-its-rejection-in-the-scholastic-debate-on-principles-of-individuation-9783110611700","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
