I 223
Abstraction/FregeVsAbstraction: mere abstraction of differences does not create (identical) properties. Geach: E.g. Def "surmen" are identical if their surnames are identical. - So that is actually a subset of people, but the same set when abstracted from differences.
Problem/Geach: that would not explain the word "surman".
Solution/Quine: "Tangibility": properties had little sense when you used "red" etc. only as names of properties.
GeachVsQuine: then we get all the problems with classes: E.g. "The property, to be a property that does not apply to itself" - would be parallel to Russell’s antinomy.
