Philosophical questions regarding both the existence and nature of properties are ubiquitous in ordinary life, the sciences, and philosophical theorising. In philosophy, it is one of the oldest topics discussed in various intellectual traditions - East and West - reaching back to Plato and Aristotle. Today, in the analytic tradition, properties continue to be a core area of study and research.

The Routledge Handbook of Properties is an outstanding reference source to this perennial topic and is the first major volume of its kind. It contains forty specially commissioned chapters written by an international team of expert contributors, and is divided into nine clear parts:

  • Methodology and Metaontology
  • Distinctions
  • Realism about Universals
  • Nominalism
  • Trope Theory
  • Properties in Causation, Time, and Modality
  • Properties in Science
  • Properties in Language and Mind
  • Properties in the Normative Realm, the Social World, and Aesthetics

The Routledge Handbook of Properties is essential reading for anyone studying and researching metaphysics, metametaphysics, and ontology, and will also be of interest to those in closely related areas such as philosophy of science, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, ethics, and aesthetics.

A.R.J. Fisher is a Lecturer in Philosophy at Gonzaga University, USA. His research focuses on the metaphysics of properties, time, and modality. He also works on the history of twentieth-century metaphysics, writing on metaphysical topics from a historical perspective. He edited Donald C. Williams's The Elements and Patterns of Being (2018), and is presently writing a monograph on Williams's metaphysics (forthcoming).

Anna-Sofia Maurin is a Professor of Theoretical Philosophy at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Her research focuses on issues in (meta)metaphysics, especially tropes, unity in complexity, ontological justification, infinite regress arguments, grounding, and metaphysical explanation. Her most recent research also covers debates in social ontology. She is the author of If Tropes (2002), and Properties in the Cambridge Elements in Metaphysics series (2022).
