Not BEFORE at all! Substances obtain their physical, chemical, biological,
(so-called extensional) properties in coordination with their moral,
legal, political, financial, social and pragmatic values. I am not saying
there is NOT a distinction between these two sorts of properties, but that
the distinction itself is a product of their interaction. In consequence,
no sort of property is more basic (or historically prior) than the other.
