Well -- this sort of thinking tends to commit you to some sort of Aristotelian realism, if not worse, and some of us would like to keep nominalism as a live option; recall your own earlier (possibly disdainful?) reference to "tropes". So, properties if necessary, but not necessarily properties, as our great, mad, former (and now possibly dead) Prime Minister might have put it. -- Michael Feld | E-mail: <feld@ccu.umanitoba.ca> Dept. of Philosophy | FAX: (204) 261-0021 University of Manitoba | Voice: (204) 474-9136 Winnipeg, MB, R3T 2M8, Canada
