Formal Theories of Properties

This course is an introduction to formal theories of properties, where these include propositions as well as relations. We motivate the foundational importance of properties across disciplines and the need for formal models. We then review different ways of developing formal theories of properties, corresponding to different logical and metaphysical choices. Finally, we assess the costs and benefits of various theories. Our discussion includes a survey of classic contributions as well as recent developments in the area.
