Two Demarcation Problems In Ontology
Paweł Garbacz · International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence · 2015
In this paper I will attempt to characterise the difference between ontological and non-ontological categories for the sake of a better understanding of the subject matter of ontology. My account of ontological categories defines them as equivalence classes of a certain family of equivalence relations that are determined by ontological relations. As a result, the demarcation problem for ontological categories turns out to be dependent on the demarcation problem for ontological relations.
