properties are represented--only by the configuration of objects that they
are produced. 2.0232 In a manner of speaking, objects are colourless. 2.0233 If two objects have the same logical form, the only distinction between them, apart from their external properties, is that they are different. 2.02331 Either a thing has properties that nothing else has, in which case we can immediately use a description to distinguish it from the others and refer to it; or, on the other hand, there are several things that have the whole set of their properties in common, in which case it is quite impossible to indicate one of them. For it there is nothing to distinguish a thing, I cannot distinguish it, since otherwise it would be distinguished after all. 2.024 The substance is what subsists independently of what is the case. 2.025 It is form and content. 2.0251 Space, time, colour (being coloured) are forms of objects. |
