Ontology/Chisholm: only: "Ens": a) contingent: states (events), individuals (borders, substances) b) necessary: abstractions, substance - only 5 basic concepts: 1. "x exemplifies y", 2. "x is necessary so that it is F ", 3" x is a condition of y ", 4" x is part of y ", 5" x thinks that there is something that is F "- ontology/Chisholm : platonic, accepted eternal things - VsNon-Platonic Entities: E.g. "property to be identical with that thing", "living vis-a-vis " ("purified ontology") - we do not accept that, in addition to the matters still there are events - existence: non-obtaining things (situations) can exist.
I 10
Individuals/Chisholm: contingent things that are not states
states/Chisholm: things that are the being of other things
thing/Chisholm: not a state of something
limits/Chisholm: no entia per se, no substances
substratum/Chisholm: if "x is F", then "x" is the substrate and being F is the content.

Eternal objects/e.o./Chisholm: are present if x has necessarily the property H and H cannot possess anything else, and there is a fact which implies H and necessarily consists.
I 60
Object/Chisholm: e.g. the thing that is believed to be wise.
Content/Chisholm: the property to be wise. >
Content.
Chisholm: but we do not need to accept a third thing that involves the thing as well as the property because attribution is not an acceptance of propositions. >
Attribution.
Self-attribution/Chisholm: needs no identification. >
Identification
I 62
Otherwise false mixing of direct and indirect attribution.
I 63
Eternal objects/Chisholm: relations, properties, facts.
Properties: one has an opinion about a property, if one assigns to the property a further property - i.e. as a thing to which one is in a relation e.g., contrast, uniqueness, frequency.
Individuation: properties are individuated by properties.
