Description
Denkel argues that objects are nothing more than bundles of properties. From this point of view he tackles some central questions of how is an object distinct from others; how does it remain the same while it changes through time? A second contention is that properties are particular entities restricted to the objects they inhabit. The appearance that they exist generally, in a multitude of things, is due to the way we conceptualize them.
