11929 | The three categories in ontology are objects, properties and relations [Molnar] |
Full Idea: The ontologically fundamental categories are three in number: Objects, Properties, and Relations. | |
From: George Molnar (Powers [1998], 2 Intr) | |
A reaction: We need second-order logic to quantify over all of these. The challenge to this view might be that it is static, and needs the addition of processes or events. Molnar rejects facts and states of affairs. |
