8. Modes of Existence / B. Properties / 6. Categorical Properties

14501	'Categorical' properties exist in the actual world, and 'hypothetical' properties in other worlds [Koslicki]
	Full Idea: The 'categorical' properties are roughly those that concern what goes on in the actual world; the properties excluded from that family are the 'hypothetical' ones, which concern what goes on in other worlds.
	From: Kathrin Koslicki (The Structure of Objects [2008], 3.2.3.1)
	A reaction: The awkward guest at this little party is the 'dispositional' properties, which are held to exist in the actual world, but have implications for other worlds. I'm a fan of them.
