Modes
In From an ontological point of view. New York: Oxford University Press. pp. 137-150 (2003)
Abstract
Suppose Locke were right: ‘All things that exist are only particulars’. Properties are modes; modes, particularized ways objects are. Objects ‘share’ or possess ‘the same’ property in the way two brokers can wear the same tie to work. Objects are similar by virtue of possessing similar modes; modes are similar tout court.Other Versions
