ABSTRACT
Anyone who engages in a discourse about ‘property’ legally understood is faced at the outset with the need to clarify the variety of uses (or abuses) and meanings of the word. The essay is not about ‘definitions of property’ in the sense that it does not try to search for clear-cut definitions of the term. It assumes however that definitional aspects and problems about property stand as a crucial point from where to approach the property discourse. Thus making the issue of ‘how to define’ property a core subject. This may be a rather boring subject, yet one that can hardly be avoided in speaking of property rights, especially in a comparative law context.
