Lewis V 246
Definiton Event/Richard Montague/Lewis: (Montague 1969)(1): certain properties of time.
Lewis: that means it is identified with the property to be a time when it happens.
>Properties, >Time, >Time points, >Space-time, >Spacetime points, >Temporal identity.
LewisVsMontague: 1. in the Relativity Theory it is not always clear, what time is.
>Relativity Theory.
2. With Montague we first have to find the place with it the region is already given.
>Localization, >Spacetime region.
Event/Quine: (as Lewis): can be easily identified with the region - then there cannot be two events in one region - if two in the same, it is a single event.
>W.V.O. Quine.
Wrong: to say e.g. that a "qua conference" the other "qua battle"(if it is the same).
>Qua-objects.

1. Richard Montague. On the Nature of Certain Philosophical Entities. The Monist 53 (2):159-194 (1969)
