How Things Might Have Been: Individuals, Kinds, and Essential Properties
Mackie, Penelope (University of Nottingham)
Discusses the distinction between the essential and accidental properties of individuals. The author challenges widely held views, and arrives at 'minimalist essentialism'- an unorthodox theory according to which ordinary individuals have relatively few interesting essential properties. It is useful for graduate students and metaphysicians.
