In a scientific world of quantitative objects and things, where do properties fit in? Are properties such as solidity, color, mass, shape, weight, size, and texture objectively "there" in the object? What can it mean for a chair to instantiate such properties? Are properties mental abstractions of thought? Where does the property exist when it is not instantiated as an object? Are there moral properties such as good and evil? Are there aesthetic properties such as beauty, sexiness, and ugliness?
