This edited volume features a range of essays from world-leading philosophers discussing the key philosophical concepts of 'object' and 'property'. Arguably, these are two of the most fundamental concepts in metaphysics. Nor is it hard to see why. If one of the central goals of metaphysics is to uncover what reality is like, in and of itself, then a natural starting point is the idea that reality involves two basic kinds of item: objects and properties. Notably, it seems hard to define one without the other: objects are things that have or instantiate properties; properties are the things that objects have, or that are instantiated by objects. Both concepts seem to be equally central to the volume's conceptual scheme--so much so that it is difficult to express truths about how things stand in the world without implicitly assuming the existence of these two ontological categories. Objects and Properties: New Perspectives collects original chapters from analytic metaphysicians working on objects and properties to showcase state-of-the-art research and to highlight the diversity of current work in this area. The volume offers in-depth discussions of debates ranging from grounding and metaphysical explanation to reduction, truthmaking, pluralism versus monism about material objects, intrinsic versus extrinsic properties, the philosophy of colour, the mind-body problem, processual views of material objects, change, modality, persistence, and composition.

Viv has always measured her life in color, deadlines, and the quiet pressure to become someone worth remembering. At art school, she's supposed to be thriving; surrounded by talent, possibility, and the promise of a future built on creativity. Instead, she feels like she's slowly disappearing into expectations that don't feel like her own.When her friendship with Shay begins to blur the line between comfort and complication, and the weight of comparison becomes impossible to ignore, Viv is forced to confront a question she's been avoiding for years: what happens when the life you chose stops feeling like yours?Leaving doesn't fix everything. It doesn't magically make her confident, successful, or certain. But it does give her something she hasn't had in a long time; space to breathe, to rebuild, and to figure out what her art means when no one is telling her what it should be.The Things That Held Us Up is a raw, coming-of-age story about friendship, identity, and the quiet unraveling that leads to becoming.
