PropertiesThis chapter is concerned with issues that I find particularly relevant to understanding the relationship between properties and states of affairs. It is not concerned with the problem of universals, which, as I have made clear, falls outside the scope of this book.

In the book‘s context, this has the pleasing result that there are no molecular states of affairs. Following this account of truthmaking, th

The Unity of States of Affairs and Bradley’s Regressm, and how, as we saw, natural reasoning of common internalism quickly yields the regress. Next, I shall provide a semi-formal analysis of the regress; explain the relevant sense of a regress’s being vicious (an often misunderstood issue); and show in detail that in this sense Bradley’s regress is vicious.
