8. Modes of Existence / C. Powers and Dispositions / 5. Powers and Properties

4544	A thing has no properties if it has no effect on other 'things' [Nietzsche]
	Full Idea: The properties of a thing are effects on other 'things'; if one removes other 'things', then a thing has no properties.
	From: Friedrich Nietzsche (The Will to Power (notebooks) [1888], §557)
	A reaction: This is a causal theory of properties. A counterexample is a potential property, like a bomb which never explodes.
