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

15464	The distinction between dispositional and 'categorical' properties leads to confusion [Lewis]
	Full Idea: To avoid the danger of claiming that dispositions are their own categorical bases, we do better to eschew the alleged distinction between dispositional and 'categorical' properties altogether.
	From: David Lewis (Finkish dispositions [1997], II)
	A reaction: Since I have been unable to form any intuitive notion of what a 'categorical' property is, I like this, though not necessarily for his reason.
