A '''quality''' (from Lat. ''qualitas''(Morwood¹, 1995) is an attribute or a property. Attributes are ascribable, by a subject, whereas properties are possessible(Cargile², 1995). Some philosophers assert that a quality cannot be defined [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysics_of_Quality Metaphysics of Quality³]. In contemporary philosophy, the idea of qualities and especially how to distinguish certain kinds of qualities from one another remains controversial.(Cargile², 1995)
