	Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Properties (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Lewis has in several places (1983a, 1986a, 1988) insisted that shape properties are intrinsic, but one could hold that an object's shape depends on the curvature of the space in which it is embedded, and this might not even be intrinsic to that space (Nerlich 1979), let alone the object.
		Then many dispositional properties might turn out to be nomically intrinsic, capturing nicely the idea that they are in a sense internal to the objects that possess them, while their manifestation depends both on external facts, and on the laws being a certain way.
		Such properties are extrinsic, but Hawthorne suggests they will satisfy all the combinatorial principles, and their close connection to natural relations means that they will be natural enough to cause problems for all these combinatorial approaches.

	Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Properties
		It is crucial to the proof that Lewis's theory entails that this property is intrinsic that the quantifiers in the theory are possibilist.
		While this might plausibly be a property that Lewis intrinsically possesses, it is somewhat surprising that it is intrinsic to all of his duplicates.
		This suggests an analysis of intrinsicness: F is an intrinsic property iff it is possible for a lonely object to be F.

		Red is a property of individual, physical objects, and such objects are said to possess the property, or alternatively the property is said to inhere in them.
		The reason the former are intrinsic properties of John's is that they are dependent solely upon his nature, upon his make-up.
		Extrinsic properties are normally talked of in terms of relations holding between two or more particular objects.

		Intrinsic properties are described by the rotation invariant descriptors of features, whereas the extrinsic properties are described by the location and rotation of a feature in an image.
		Intrinsic and extrinsic descriptors of features are stored in a database together with data about the object class and pose of the view.

	Intrinsic/Extrinsic Motivation - Publications - Management Portal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The concepts of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation are cardinal concepts in social and humanistic psychology, and represent distinctive mental processes that interact in specific ways that can in turn be observed through observation of individuals in work, school, and other institutionalized settings.
		Various academic viewpoints posit how intrinsic and extrinsic motivation add to one another or disrupt one another, yet there is still no consensus as to how these motivational events interact, or for that matter what they are.
		The resolution to this seemingly eternal conundrum is not served by yet another study, but by recognition of the fact that intrinsic and extrinsic motivational processes represent nothing more than metaphorical artifacts that bear not the slightest similarity to the neural processes that actually govern motivation.

		There is no reason for believing in extrinsical properties, as believing in extrinsical properties is merely abstracting properties of physical reality away from the matter or material substance which they are found in.
		Names of properties are a byproduct of language, a square is a square because we call it a square.
		The difference between extrinsic and intrinsic properties is supposed to be this: an object has the first in virtue of the way it relates to the world while an object has the latter in virtue of the way it is. So your weight is an extrinsic property while your mass is an intrinsic property.

		In physics and chemistry an intrinsic property (or intensive property) of a system is a physical property of the system which does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system.
		By contrast, an extrinsic property (or extensive property) of a system does depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system.
		However, some of the intrinsic properties are statistical in nature (e.g.

		To understand what is meant by the phrase "Happiness has intrinsic value" we need to look at the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic properties and the source of value.
		This is another way of saying that the goodness of happiness comes from some property that is inherent in that thing; it is good independently of the context in which is it is found.
		This is another way of saying that the goodness of something, like patience, comes from some extrinsic property; its goodness depends upon the context which is it is found.

		Intrinsic properties I characterize by the platitude that they say what an object is like in itself, independently of everything else in the world.
		Of course, in some cases we have quite strong pretheoretic intuitions about which properties are intrinsic, and we tend to prefer theories that preserve those intuitions; but preserving unscientific ideas about what is and is not intrinsic is not a condition that a theory has to meet to be acceptable by scientific standards.
		To say that intrinsic properties of an object are those that it has independently of what the rest of the world is like is to say that an object retains its intrinsic properties under annihilation or creation of, and permutation of the intrinsic properties of, distinct individuals.

	Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Value
		Intrinsic value is also often taken to be pertinent to judgments about moral justice (whether having to do with moral rights or moral desert), insofar as it is good that justice is done and bad that justice is denied, in ways that appear intimately tied to intrinsic value.
		That which is not intrinsically good but extrinsically good is derivatively good; it is good, not (insofar as its extrinsic value is concerned) for its own sake, but for the sake of something else that is good and to which it is related in some way.
		So understood, the claim that intrinsic value is borne by such entities is to be distinguished from the claim that it is borne by certain other closely related entities that are often classified as concrete.

		Naturally, it is assumed that the objects considered bear indeed the irrefutable marks that they have been formed or collocated by the activity of human agencies and that the approximate age of these transformations have been established according to scientific standard procedures.
		These criteria are intrinsic in as much as they pertain to the features of the artifacts themselves irrespective of the various contexts in which they have been found.
		To be heuristically useful this property requires of course that the exact spatial disposition of the artifacts with respect to one another be a part of the archaeological record as precisely as all the intrinsic properties which were listed above.

		On the other hand, the density of a sample, the ratio of the mass of the sample to its volume, is an intrinsic property that is characteristic of the material and not peculiar to a particular sample.

		Distant powerful radio sources would be a useful cosmological tool if an intrinsic length-scale or luminosity could be estimated in a way that is independent of the coordinate distance to the source.
		A model for the propagation of the radio lobes of powerful extended radio sources will be discussed; the model is written in terms of fundamental physical variables such as the luminosity in directed kinetic energy and the ambient gas density, rather than observables, such as the radio power.
		Estimates of these intrinsic and extrinsic properties will be presented and discussed.

	logicandlanguage.net: Postcard from Sydney
		One snippet which I picked up this way was that I should be careful to distinguish intrinsic/extrinsic property distinction from the relational/non-relational property distinction (and not casually conflate them, as I did at the beginning of my conversation with suppering metaphysician Josh Parsons) because some properties are relational but intrinsic, e.g.
		I have the property of having a nose, and that is intrinsic to me (unlike the property of being an hour's flight from Canberra,) even though I have it in virtue of my relation to something else (my nose.)
		It might seem natural to gloss the extrinsic properties as relational, since they are the ones which I have in virtue of the way I am related to other things (e.g being taller than Kylie, being between Hobart and Sydney) wheras paradigmatic intrinsic properties don't seem to be as transparently relational (e.g.

		Solid-state physics emphasizes the properties common to large classes of compounds rather than the dependence of properties upon compositions, the latter receiving greater emphasis in solid-state chemistry.
		In addition, solid-state chemistry tends to be more descriptive, while solid-state physics focuses upon quantitative relationships between properties and the underlying electronic structure.

		Since the lack of any intrinsically worthwhile starting-point would render all value open to question, the procedure seems to be self-defeating.
		The intrinsic features of a thing are those which it has in and of itself; while its extrinsic features are those which it has only in its relation to something else.
		In epistemology, the distinction between primary and secondary qualities points out the difference between the intrinsic and the extrinsic properties of material objects, and in normative ethics, deontologists and consequentialists disagree about whether the moral value of human actions resides in their intrinsic or their extrinsic features.

The reason this formula is so complicated is that it applies to any system of coordinates (rather than just projected tangent normal coordinates), and is based entirely on the intrinsic properties of the surface.
		The quantity inside the parentheses is a planar function, so the surface is a parabolic "valley", which has no intrinsic curvature (like the walls of a cylinder).
