The gist of Professor Amini-Nejad’s argument in The Cornerstone of Philosophy is that quiddity possesses externality while being derivative . In his view, quiddity does not constitute any part of the very fabric of reality; the text of reality is existence itself. Yet quiddity is mode of the exact text. The fact that quiddity is a mode of existence causes it, despite not being identical with text of reality, to enter into certain unity with it, and through this unity to become existent in metaphorical sense. This metaphor, , is a philosophical, mystical, and nafs al-amrī metaphor, not a merely linguistic or conventional one. Therefore, although quiddity lacks textual externality, it is nevertheless said to enjoy a kind of derivative externality independent of our minds. , this claim is not sound. First, if existence alone constitutes the text of reality, then quiddity must either be identical with this text, which, in Amini-Nejad’s own position, is unacceptable, or else be external to the text, in which case it cannot function as a aspect of that very text. What is correct is that the quiddity, as a Ḥaythiyyah of the text, specifically existent quiddity, is present in the exact text in which existence itself exists. Accordingly, existent quiddity possesses a real externality, whereas what has merely derivative externality is quiddity qua quiddity . Second, the claim that quiddity enjoys derivative externality does not differ in any fundamental way from the position of those who regard quiddity as a purely mental entity.
