The book is a systematic study of the issue of self-individuation
in the scholastic debate on principles of individuation (principia
individuationis). The point of departure is a general formulation
of the problem of individuation acceptable for all the participants
of the scholastic debate: a principle of individuation of x is what
makes x individual (in various possible senses of 'making something
individual'). The book argues against a prima facie plausible view
that everything that is individual is individual by itself and not
by anything distinct from it (Strong Self-Individuation Thesis).
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 materia signata, Frege's Begriff-Gegenstand
distinction, and Geach's form-function analogy developed in his
writings on Aquinas. In 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.
