    Reason for

    • 1.Instancing a disjunct entails instancing any associated disjunctions

    Reasons Against

    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Disjunctive properties are not genuine properties but mere logical constructions lacking causal-explanatory unity (Armstrong 1978).
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If determinables must be genuine properties grounding causal powers, disjunctions cannot play this role regardless of entailment relations.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Thus the entailment from disjunct to disjunction establishes logical containment but not genuine property inheritance.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.The disjunctivist analysis makes determinable instantiation parasitic on whichever determinate happens to be instantiated, inverting the ontological priority.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Genuine determinable inheritance requires that the determinable property is metaphysically prior and explanatory, not merely derivable post hoc (Yablo 1992).

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Disjunctivism explains several features of determination: Requisite determination is accommodated since the instancing of a disjunction requires the instancing of a disjunct; Determinable inheritance is accommodated since the instancing of a disjunct entails the instancing of any associated disjunctions (see Rodriguez-Pereyra 2002, Massin 2013); Causal compatibility is accommodated via the identity of determinable (disjunctive) and determinate (disjunct) instances. And while disjunctivism violat
