Necessary properties vs. essential properties?
Is this like some famous debate? A teacher of a friend of mine offered anyone in the class an automatic A (the quarter just started) if they could answer the following correctly:
Is the set of necessary properties for a given thing the same as the set of essential properties for the same thing? |

Re: Necessary properties vs. essential properties?
Sounds like just a semantic riddle. I can't imagine the teacher having gotten many As in his life. |

Philo, and 1's&0's, elaborate please?
It seems that if someone (me) has no frame of referance as to the OP the answer is, 'no/symantics riddle'. Some thinking from those that seem to believe they know the answer please...? |
