-*---- Does everyone in this discussion have the same notion of property? Perhaps just to make sure, or to enlighten me, one of the participants would be kind enough to tell me what this notion is. If I were asked whether every meaningful predicate expresses a property, my first answer would be "yes, of course." Even an expressive or attitudinal predicate such as "yummy" expresses a property that some things have, namely, eliciting the attitude or expression from the concerned speaker. (Of course, to say this I must either reify the predicate or relativize my logic. Is this Zeleny's point?) Russell
