7. Existence / B. Change in Existence / 4. Events / c. Reduction of events

8518	Events are trope-sequences, in which tropes replace one another [Campbell,K]
	Full Idea: Events are widely acknowledged to be particulars, but they are plainly not ordinary concrete particulars. They are best viewed as trope-sequences, in which one condition gives way to another. They are changes in which tropes replace one another.
	From: Keith Campbell (The Metaphysic of Abstract Particulars [1981], §3)
	A reaction: If nothing exists except bundles of tropes, it is worth asking WHY one trope would replace another. Some tropes are active (i.e. they are best described as 'powers').
