Abstract

In this talk I would like to present and hopefully discuss a new take on the connection between ontology, laws of nature and properties in physics and metaphysics. This view has been inspired by the primitive ontology (PO) approach but I do not think is necessitated by it or needs it, so you could endorse it even if you do not endorse the PO approach.
