Trope theory is a philosophical approach to understanding the nature of properties and relations. It posits that properties (like "redness" or "smoothness") and relations (like "being taller than") are particular entities, known as tropes, rather than universals or abstract forms that exist independently of objects. Trope theorists argue that each individual object possesses its own particular instance of a property, which is a specific trope.
