Trope Bundle Theory
The aim of this paper is that of analysing trope bundle theory, its promises and some of its problems. First of all, it will begin by showing what trope bundle theory is, its development and its undoubted appeal. Then, it will focus on two problems that affect this theory, both concerned with the relation of compresence invoked in order to explain what a material object is by the bundle theory....
متن کاملConcrete Individuals and the Failure of the Trope Bundle Solution
What account can we give of the nature of the individuality of concrete particulars that allows many properties to inhere in them? Campbell argues that concrete particulars are bundles of tropes, or of instances of qualities. It is argued that we should individuate tropes spatiotemporally, as Schaffer suggests we should, and that such a spatiotemporal individuation principle makes Campbell’s mo...
متن کاملTrope theory and the Bradley regress
Trope theory is the view that the world is a world of abstract particular qualities. But if all there is are tropes, how do we account for the truth of propositions ostensibly made true by some concrete particular? A common answer is that concrete particulars are nothing but tropes in compresence. This answer seems vulnerable to an argument (first presented by F. H. Bradley) according to which ...
متن کاملMereological bundle theory
Bundle theory takes objects to be bundles of properties. Some bundle theorists take objects to be bundles of instantiated universals, and some take objects to be bundles of tropes. Tropes are instances of properties: some take instantiated universals to be tropes, while others deny the existence of universals and take tropes to be ontologically fundamental. Historically, the bundling relation h...
متن کاملRealist Bundle Theory
1 that bears properties and individuates distinct particulars. However, most theorists agree that though it is possible that bearers are not individuators, considerations of simplicity favor identifying them. Tropes are often characterized as abstract particulars. This does not mean that tropes 2 are non-spatiotemporal, but, rather, that they cannot exist independently of the concrete particula...
