| Sumario: | Simons (1994, 2000) has proposed an ontology of trope bundles in which there is a ‘nucleus’ and a ‘periphery’ or ‘halo’. The nucleus is composed of tropes all of which are essentially co-instantiated with all the others. The periphery is composed with tropes that are ontologically dependent on the tropes of the nucleus, but the tropes of the nucleus are not dependent on the peripheral tropes. The nuclear theory of tropes, then, can accommodate our intuitions about essential and accidental properties of an object. Essential properties should be tropes part of the nucleus of an object. The nucleus as a whole should be taken as the individual essence of the object. It is considered here how do the traditional candidates for non-trivial essential properties fare as constituents of nuclear bundles. It appears that neither a sortal property, nor the conditions of origin seem adequate tropes for the nuclear bundle. Other proposals by Simons (1994) and Campbell (1990) seem to lead to highly revisionary nihilistic or monistic ontologies. In contrast, here a trope of being or existence is proposed as component of the nuclear bundle. The theory that results is coherent with the main lines of what has been sustained by friends of tropes, but, interestingly, also seems to cohere with the intuitions deployed by defenders of a substrate. |
