Substrata and Incoherence
(Metaphysics and Ontology, English)
ubstrata or propertyless particulars, according to the substratum theorist, exemplify properties. This account is accused of incoherence; indeed, the proposition __propertyless particulars have properties__ is contradictory. There are at least three options to escape the accusation. There is one option which qualifies the sense of __propertyless particulars__; another option which eliminates __propertyless particulars__; and another option which neither qualifies the sense nor eliminates the subject matter, but eliminates the predicate __have properties__. I show that neither of these options meet the accusation. The substratum theorist should therefore devise other options.
