A putative solution might, for example, claim that the properties are appropriately bundled, or somehow tied to a bare particular. In this essay, the author argues that, surprisingly, an extant candidate solution to this problem is at the same time an independently developed candidate solution to the mind-body problem. Specifically, what is argued here to be the best version of the relata-specific bundle theory\u2014the thesis that each instance of compresence has a special intrinsic nature in virtue of which it necessarily bundles its specific bundle-ees\u2014is also a species of Russellian monism, labeled by David Chalmers as \u2018constitutive Russellian panprotopsychism\u2019. The upshot of this connection is significant for the metaphysics of the mind-body problem: a credible theory of property instantiation turns out to have a built-in account of how consciousness is grounded in certain (broadly) physical systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The problem of many-over-one asks how it can be that many properties are ever instantiated by one object.
