Abstract
The existence of Haeccity property in objects is one of the solutions provided to solve the problem of differentiation and the problem of individuality in objects. The belief in the existence of such a property goes back to the Dance Scotts philosophy. His thought is often considered to be influenced by Avicenna. In the following text, first, some preliminary material such as the difference of opinion on the equality of Haeccity and individual essence has been stated in order to clarify the point of view of these believers. Then Avicenna's attitude about this issue is described and after that Avicenna's influence on Scotts as the author of the term of Haeccity is discussed. In the end, Avicenna's thoughts were evaluated based on the opinions of contemporary believers and the general conclusion was reached that although Avicenna had a prominent role in creating the question of identification and individuality in the mind of the first believer to Haeccity in the history of philosophy, Scotts; But it should be noted that in contemporary analytical philosophy, Avicenna's opinions are neither compatible with individual nature nor with Haecceitism. As a result, not only Avicenna cannot be considered to be of Haecceitism, but even it seems that he can be considered to be Anti Haecceitism as well.
