Uninstantiated

And in a final act of insanity that which, by its nature is not, the uninstantiated and uninstantiable class-as-pure-form is claimed to be existential. ❋ Hal Duncan (2007)

The problem does not arise for all uninstantiated properties, for some, e.g. being a sky-lotus, or being a square circle, can be shown to be constructs made out of simpler instantiated properties. ❋ Ganeri, Jonardon (2009)

The essence of van Fraassen's objection here is that the difference between mathematical (uninstantiated/abstract) structure, and physical (instantiated/concrete) structure cannot itself be explained in purely structural terms. ❋ Ladyman, James (2009)

The difference between (2) and (1) is akin to the difference between Platonism about properties (embraces uninstantiated properties) and Aristotelianism about properties (rejects uninstantiated properties). ❋ David, Marian (2009)

But the possibility that a concept be uninstantiated is accommodated by the second disjunct on the right-hand side of (9). ❋ Linnebo, Øystein (2008)

By far the majority of realists about possible worlds take them to be abstract objects of some sort: sets of sentences or propositions, uninstantiated world-properties, or unactualised maximal facts, or perhaps even as sui generis simples. ❋ Nolan, Daniel (2007)

A trope is neither a bare particular nor an uninstantiated property. ❋ Vallicella, William F. (2006)

The number of uninstantiated determinate disjuncts involved by many other determinables such as alloyed with more than one gram but less than a metric ton of gold is certainly huge. ❋ Sanford, David H. (2006)

Regarding a determinable such as between 50 and 100 milliseconds as equivalent to an infinite disjunction of determinates might allow uninstantiated properties into the ontology. ❋ Sanford, David H. (2006)

There are no uninstantiated properties or universals. ❋ Sanford, David H. (2006)

We can, using Anselm's logic, imagine this virtuoso generous cocksucker down on his knees in front of us as an object implementing the method or as an uninstantiated class with an unimplemented method. ❋ Hal Duncan (2007)

Some abstractionists will wish to identify such merely possible objects with actual abstract objects ” perhaps uninstantiated properties that are less than world-properties, descriptions of parts of worlds, set-theoretic representatives, or whatever. ❋ Nolan, Daniel (2007)
