This book aims to develop a philosophical theory of extrinsic
properties - of properties whose instantiation by an object does
not only depend on what the object itself is like, but also on
features of its environment. Various accounts of the
intrinsic/extrinsic distinction are analysed in detail, and it is
argued that the most promising approach to defining this
distinction is to consider extrinsic properties as a particular
type of relational property. Moreover, it is shown that two key
notions in the metaphysics of properties, the supervenience
relation and the dispositional/categorical distinction, whose scope
is usually restricted to intrinsic properties, can fruitfully be
applied to extrinsic properties as well.
