 In ‘How to Talk’ (Austin 1979, 134–153), Austin further developed distinctions akin to Cook Wilson’s differentiation between the logical subject/predicate and metaphysical subject/attribute distinctions, and this differentiation was shared by P. F. Strawson (Strawson 1959, 144), who also believed in ‘particularized qualities’ (Strawson (1959, 168) &amp; (1974, 131)). In a bid to avoid Bradley’s regress (Strawson 1959, 167), he introduced the idea of ‘non-relational ties’ between subject and attribute, leaving ‘relations’ for the link between logical subject and predicate. Some non-relational ties are thus said to hold between particulars and particulars: to the relation between Socrates and the universal ‘dying’ corresponds an ‘attributive tie’ between the particulars that are both Socrates and the event of his death. That such ‘ties’ are less obscure than ‘relations’ and that this maneuver actually succeeds in stopping the regress are further issues, but it is interesting to note that Strawson chose the name ‘attributive tie’ in honour of Cook Wilson (Strawson (1959, 168), see SI, 193).
