Tropes and Other Things
Our day-today experience of the world regularly brings us into contact with middle-sized objects such as apples, dogs, and other human beings. These objects possess observable properties, properties that are available or accessible to the unaided senses, such as redness and roundness, as well as properties that are not so available, such as chemical ones. Both of these kinds of properties serve...
متن کاملThe Individuation of Tropes
A trope is a particular property: the redness of a rose, the roundness of the moon. It is generally supposed that tropes are individuated by primitive quantity: this redness, that roundness. I argue that the trope theorist is far better served by individuating tropes by spatiotemporal relation: here redness, there roundness. In short, tropes are not this-suches but here-suches. I generally favo...
متن کاملWhat infants know and what they do: perceiving possibilities for walking through openings.
What infants decide to do does not necessarily reflect the extent of what they know. In the current study, 17-month-olds were encouraged to walk through openings of varying width under risk of entrapment. Infants erred by squeezing into openings that were too small and became stuck, suggesting that they did not accurately perceive whether they could fit. However, a second penalty condition reve...
متن کاملTransitive Openings
Though the transitive closure of a reflexive and symmetric fuzzy relation R is unique and there are several algorithms to calculate it, there can be many transitive openings (maximal T -indistinguishability operators among the ones smaller than or equal to R). This paper presents a method to calculate transitive openings of a reflexive and symmetric fuzzy relation R. It is worth noticing that a...
متن کاملKRIS McDANIEL TROPES AND ORDINARY PHYSICAL OBJECTS
I argue that a solution to puzzles concerning the relationship of objects and their properties – a version of the ‘bundle’ theory of particulars according to which ordinary objects are mereological fusions of monadic and relational tropes – is also a solution to puzzles of material constitution involving the alleged co-location of material objects. Additionally, two arguments that have played a...
