It is generally considered that the principle of individuation is matter and that this doctrine
comes from Aristotle. This paper will examine how medieval philosophers approached
this problem and we will show that they offered various theories by which the principle
of individuation could be matter, form, combination of matter and form, accidents or
some special principle such as
haecceitas
, which we find in the school of J. Duns Scotus.
We will assess how all these theories resolve the problem only partially, and thus indicate
the need of a single principle of individuation. This becomes particularly relevant in the
context of the metaphysical study of a human person. Our research will show that it is
actus essendi
, which is not only the act of all acts, but also the principle of all principles.
