8. Modes of Existence / B. Properties / 12. Denial of Properties

3906	If possible worlds are needed to define properties, maybe we should abandon properties [Scruton]
	Full Idea: If the only way of defining properties involves quantifying over possible worlds, this could be taken as another reason for abandoning properties altogether.
	From: Roger Scruton (Modern Philosophy:introduction and survey [1994], 26.4)
