ABSTRACT
We take advantage of our precursors, and it is not our primary goal to say original
things about property spaces as creative tools for social science theorizing. Still, we
make a few contributions of our own to the field by elaborating on the terms for the
parts of a property space and by distinguishing between different ways of reducing
property spaces. Property spaces are a general logical tool to keep track of concepts
and relations between concepts and to develop new concepts. In contrast to our
predecessors, we concentrate on using property spaces to theorize.
