| Necessity de re: is a controversial form of necessity which assumes that it can be stated about objects whether or not they necessarily have certain properties.

See also de dicto, de re, planet example._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
