Single Idea 15476

[filed under theme 9. Objects / C. Structure of Objects / 1. Structure of an Object ]

Full Idea

I take it as obvious that any structural property involves dispositionality and, therefore, cannot be used to 'explain' dispositionality.

Gist of Idea

Structural properties involve dispositionality, so cannot be used to explain it
