 One might think, however, that Platonism about properties is less problematic than Platonism about propositions.  The former do not represent the world, whereas the latter, as truth-bearers, do (Jubien 2001, King 2007).  However, properties can apply or fail to apply to objects, and can be said to be true or false of objects, and so it is not clear that worries about representation clearly gain more traction for propositions than for properties.  Similar considerations apply to states of affairs.
