- 'Properties and Propositions' is the major output of a substantial and prolonged research project (begun in 2016). The book brings together three distinct strands of research: Chapters 1-9 argues for a novel theory of predication; Chapters 10 and 11 use this theory to dissolve puzzles in metaphysics; and Chapters 12-14 use this theory to argue for a new version of the identity theory of truth. The book overlaps with four peer-reviewed articles: "Neutralism in the semantic tradition" (2013 "Substitution in a sense" (2018), "The Prenective View of propositional content" (2018) and "Idealism and the identity theory of truth" (in press).
