4779	For Kim, events are exemplifications of properties by objects at particular times [Kim, by Psillos]
	Full Idea: A dominant view, attributed mainly to Kim, is that events are exemplifications of properties by objects at particular times.
	From: report of Jaegwon Kim (Causes and Events: Mackie on causation [1971]) by Stathis Psillos - Causation and Explanation §2.6
	A reaction: The obvious thought is that we might not describe something as an 'event' just because a property was exemplified (seeing red?). And WWII was an event, but a bit more than a 'property exemplification'.
