About This Book
Ontology Ontology refers to the study of being (literally, it means “rational discourse about being”). In philosophy, basic questions about existence are typically posed as ontological, e.g.: ● What is there? ● What types of things are there? ● How can we describe existence? ● What kind of categories can things go into? ● Are the categories of existence hierarchical? This approach to ontology can be considered fundamental in that it underlies our experiences of the world and our beliefs about it
