How fine-grained Kim's events are depends on how finely properties are individuated [Kim, by Schaffer,J]

8976	If events are ordered triples of items, such things seem to be sets, and hence abstract [Simons on Kim]

8975	Events cannot be merely ordered triples, but must specify the link between the elements [Kim, by Simons]

8974	Events are composed of an object with an attribute at a time [Kim, by Simons]

8977	Since properties like self-identity and being 2+2=4 are timeless, Kim must restrict his properties [Simons on Kim]

8980	Kim's theory results in too many events [Simons on Kim]

We don't want another new set of categories; we want a variety of flexible categories [Deleuze, by May]

12. Knowledge Sources / A. A Priori Knowledge / 4. A Priori as Necessities

9354	Why should necessities only be knowable a priori? That Hesperus is Phosporus is known empirically [Devitt]

12. Knowledge Sources / A. A Priori Knowledge / 9. A Priori from Concepts

9353	We explain away a priori knowledge, not as directly empirical, but as indirectly holistically empirical [Devitt]

12. Knowledge Sources / A. A Priori Knowledge / 11. Denying the A Priori

9356	The idea of the a priori is so obscure that it won't explain anything [Devitt]
