Objects, Properties, And Functions, Robert J. Stainton
Robert J. Stainton

Hard cases of objects which are in some respects akin to properties are considered, but the idea that properties simply are another kind of object is rejected. Finally, properties are seen to be interchangeable with a certain kind of function.
