7. Existence / B. Change in Existence / 4. Events / a. Nature of events

3310	If slowness is a property of walking rather than the walker, we must allow that events exist [Benardete,JA]
	Full Idea: Once we conceded that Tom can walk slowly or quickly, and that the slowness and quickness is a property of the walking and not of Tom, we can hardly refrain from quantifying over events (such as 'a walking') in our ontology.
	From: José A. Benardete (Metaphysics: the logical approach [1989], Ch. 6)
