8. Modes of Existence / B. Properties / 4. Intrinsic Properties

18910	To seek truth, study the real connections between subjects and attributes [Aristotle]
	Full Idea: If, however, one is aiming at truth, one must be guided by the real connexions of subjects and attributes.
	From: Aristotle (Posterior Analytics [c.327 BCE], 81b22), quoted by George Engelbretsen - Trees, Terms and Truth 3
	A reaction: I take this to be a warning that predicates that indicate mere 'Cambridge properties' (such as relations, locations, coincidences etc) have nothing to do with ontology. See Shoemaker on properties.
