The Metaphysics of Extrinsic Properties



The Metaphysics of Extrinsic Properties (Metaphysical Research, 11) by Vera Hoffmann-Kolss
English | 2010 | ISBN: 3110325284 | 222 pages | PDF | 3 MB


This book aims to develop a philosophical theory of extrinsic properties – of properties whose instantiation by an object does not only depend on what the object itself is like, but also on features of its environment. Various accounts of the intrinsic/extrinsic distinction are analysed in detail, and it is argued that the most promising approach to defining this distinction is to consider extrinsic properties as a particular type of relational property. Moreover, it is shown that two key notions in the metaphysics of properties, the supervenience relation and the dispositional/categorical distinction, whose scope is usually restricted to intrinsic properties, can fruitfully be applied to extrinsic properties as well.
