Privileging properties

The idea that the world is human construction is fairly familiar and genera lly disparaged. One version of this claim is partially defended here. This subjectivist thesis concerns a debate about the objectivity of rightness of categorization. A problem about the discriminatory role of properties is b oth presented and motivated. The subjectivist thesis is articulated and def ended against two powerful objections. Finally, this thesis is shown to be conceptually independent of both verificationism and empirical idealism.
