(Elucidation) A quality is a specifically dependent continuant that, in contrast to roles and dispositions, does not require any further process in order to be realized James Malone A quality is an entity that describes some aspect which is intrinsic to that particular object and is dependent on or more material entities in which it inheres in or is borne by.
