1941 O. Helmer tr. A. Tarski Introd. Logic §17. 55 x = y if, and only if, x has every property which y has, and y has every property which x has... [This] was first stated by Leibniz..and hence may be called Leibniz's law.
1965 Philos. Rev. 74 341 Physicalism violates Leibniz' law, which requires that if two things are identical they have all their non-intensional and nonmodal properties in common.
1968 Aristotelian Soc. Suppl. Vol. XLII. 99 Let us consider Leibniz's law firstly as a principle about the identity of individuals.
