    It is not the case that Particularism's failure entails only that correlations are not determined by separate intrinsic states, which is equally consistent with property holism rather than relational holism.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Property holism still requires explaining how wholes determine parts; this seems equally dependent on relational structure as relational holism.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The claim equivocates: correlations between entities necessarily involve relations; denying relational facts while affirming correlations is incoherent.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Property holism faces its own determination problem: what determines which properties compose the whole if not facts about how parts relate to each other?
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.If intrinsic states alone don't determine correlations, non-intrinsic determination is necessary; property holism satisfies this without requiring relational facts.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Property holism explains determination through whole-part constitution relations, which are metaphysically simpler than irreducible relational structures.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Particularism's failure only rules out intrinsic monism, leaving multiple viable alternatives including property holism as a live option.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
