The individuation of tropes
Australasian Journal of Philosophy 79 (2):247 – 257 (2001)
Abstract
A tropel 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 argme 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-suchesAuthor's Profile
