Property: what can be ascribed to an object in order to distinguish it from other objects. In philosophy, there is debate about whether properties exist or whether "bare particulars" exist. Expressions for properties are predicates. Not every predicate will refer to a property. See also quantification over properties, 2nd order logic, HOL, completeness._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Hintikka I 60 Name/property/relation/Wittgenstein/Hintikka: the names of properties and relations are themselves properties and relations - the number of the names must be the same as that of the objects - ((s) Cf. the problem, that there are not enough names ...). I 207 Properties/object/Wittgenstein/Hintikka: the properties, without which an object could not exist, may not be attributed in a description of the object - ((s) elsewhere/other author: one must be able to abstract from properties. - Source?) >Predication, >Attribution, >Attributes, >Predicates. --- II 189 Properties/WittgensteinVsPlaton: looks for constituents of a mixture, such as if the properties would be constituents of things. II 285 Properties/Notation/Wittgenstein: one could e.g. characterize all objects in the room on how far they differ from a chair - this is not a statement about the objects, but about the grammar - ((s)> Chisholm: "to live opposite from...": no property. >Properties/Chisholm._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
