About This Book

what makes a property intrinsic? What exactly does the intrinsic/extrinsic distinction rest upon, and how can we reasonably justify this distinction? These questions bear great importance on central debates in such diverse philosophical fields as ethics (What is the nature of intrinsic value?), philosophy of mind (Does mental content supervene on internal bodily features?), epistemology (Can intrinsic duplicates differ in the justification of their beliefs?) and philosophy of science (Do the causal powers of an object depend on its extrinsic features?) – to only name a few. Given the central relevance of the intrinsic/extrinsic distinction to philosophical research, a collection of pertinent essays on the topic is an essential addition to the literature. It helps to identify more clearly the problems and arguments that are at stake. The anthology provides a comprehensive overview of central facets of the debates, including both crucial earlier and important new contributions by leading philosophers. As such it constitutes an indispensable component of any serious study of the topic.

1 Without the word ‘contingent’ no properties would qualify as intrinsic (assuming there are necessary beings). Since necessary beings cannot fail to exist, no properties can be had in the absence of necessary beings (assuming there are necessary beings).

3 A perfectly natural property is a fundamental physical property.
4 Lewis (1986) later requires that duplicates not only share perfectly natural properties, but also that “their parts can be put into correspondence in such a way that corresponding parts have exactly the same perfectly natural properties, and stand in the same perfectly natural relations” (p. 61).
5 Stephen Yablo warns: “there is something uncomfortable about taking an intrinsicness-fact that is very clearcut … and putting it at the mercy of something as controversial, and (apparently) irrelevant, as the relative naturalness” of a disjunction and its disjuncts (1999, p. 2). Gene Witmer, William Butchard, and Kelly Trogdon (2005) question whether we even have a concept of naturalness. While Lewis (2001) insists that the cost of doing without the notion of naturalness is too great, Witmer et al. reply: “The problem here is not a matt...
