8. Modes of Existence / B. Properties / 3. Types of Properties

12354	A 'categorial' property is had by virtue of being or having an item from a category [Wedin]
	Full Idea: A 'categorial' property is a property something has by virtue of being or having an item from one of the categories.
	From: Michael V. Wedin (Aristotle's Theory of Substance [2000], V.5)
	A reaction: I deny that these are 'properties'. A thing is categorised according to its properties. To denote the category as a further property is the route to madness (well, to a regress).

8. Modes of Existence / B. Properties / 11. Properties as Sets

15516	A property is any class of possibilia [Lewis]
	Full Idea: A property is any class of possibilia.
	From: David Lewis (Parts of Classes [1991], 2.7)
