8. Modes of Existence / B. Properties / 13. Tropes / a. Nature of tropes
Tropes are the same as events [Schaffer,J]
     Full Idea: Tropes can be identified with events.
     From: Jonathan Schaffer (Causation and Laws of Nature [2008], n17)
     A reaction: This is presumably on the view of events, associated with Kim, as instantiations of properties. This idea is a new angle on tropes and events which had never occurred to me.
