Abstract
Jalal al-Din Dawani tries with his theory of Predication and his attribution theory and referent of Predication, and his special analysis of the Rule of Presupposition solves this problem, which is the problem of attributing quiddity to existence. Dawani has two analyses about whetherness, such as "There is Michael". According to Dawani, in the second analysis of "There is Michael," the problem of attributing quiddity to existence is solved because the second analysis of "There is Michael" means" Michael has a connection to existence," not" Michael has existence". According to Dawani, in the first analysis of "There is Michael," the problem of attributing quiddity to existence can be solved by distinguishing between a container that quiddity attributes to existence and a container that the attributing quiddity to existence is there. According to Dawani, existence is not attributed to quiddity outside, and existence is not attributed to quiddity in the mind. Still, existence is attributed to quiddity in the thing in itself.
