In his paper “Events without Times: An Essay in Ontology” (1990), Chisholm presented a new and even more sparse ontological scheme. As the title indicates, times were banished. Furthermore, states of affairs disappeared, replaced by the new category of states. A Chisholmian state is in some ways like a Kimian event. If we have a suitable contingently existing object, a, and we have a suitable property, F, then, if a actually has F, then there is the state a’s being F. A state such as this is an event. If a doesn’t have F, then there is no such state. There are no non-occurring states.
