peace!
In several places in your various books, you brought up the 'principle of individuation' established by Aristotle, according to which there may be two objects that are equal in all their properties and yet they will be two different objects.
You also brought up Leibniz's words, which disputed Aristotle's famous 'principle of the identity of incorporeal things'.
In all these places you held Aristotle's position. In one place you even wrote that Leibniz's position is absurd.
Although, I didn't find that you explained (even briefly!) why you hold that view (at most, you refuted Leibniz's 'proof' following Bergman)? Is this really just intuition? Aren't there any arguments, probabilities, and various claims about this? Has nothing been written about this in the philosophical literature?
I would love to hear from you about that.
Have a good week!
And here is the place to thank you for the wonderful site! Thank you! And much success!

Hello. I think I explained this in two carts. As for the matter itself, I don't think there's any need for an explanation. After all, the starting point is that Aristotle is right, since it's clear that if you distinguish between the thing and its attributes, then identity in attributes does not entail identity between the objects. Why would identity in attributes make the two objects one? What is the connection between difference in attributes and separation in individuation? What remains is Leibniz's proof, which seemingly forces us to give up this intuition. And so, once the proof was refuted, we returned to the Aristotelian starting point. I assume this has been written about in philosophical literature, but I'm not familiar with it. I assume you could search philosophical databases or ask experts in the field.
