{"product_id":"ontological-categories-katarina-perovic-9781108978255","title":"Ontological Categories","description":"Ontology - the study of the most fundamental categories of being - lies at the very heart of metaphysics. The reason why it appears to be so central is because it takes on the following questions: What sorts of entities are there? What features do those entities have? How do they relate to one another? And so on. Section 1 of this Element presents a fast-paced historical overview of some of the notable approaches to these questions. Section 2 tells the story of how one of the oldest, most disputed, but also most developed ontological categories - universals - got introduced. Section 3 builds on the discussion of universals as it considers the desiderata for a promising system of ontological categories. And Section 4 looks at ways in which philosophers might break with tradition and explore some new ontological categories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katarina Perovic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108978258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108978255\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/29\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.16d","brand":"Katarina Perovic","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46795469291775,"sku":"9781108978255","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cf25da91-534a-4b4e-bb39-8d92baf3c610.jpg?v=1744947701","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ontological-categories-katarina-perovic-9781108978255","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
