8. Modes of Existence / B. Properties / 13. Tropes / b. Critique of tropes

12253	If tropes are in space and time, in what sense are they abstract? [Oderberg]
	Full Idea: If tropes are in space and time, in what sense are they abstract?
	From: David S. Oderberg (Real Essentialism [2007], 4.5)
	A reaction: I take this to be a conclusive objection to claims for any such thing to be abstract. See, for example, Dummett's claim that the Equator is an abstract object.
