ontology

Positive science deals only with phenomena, yet you are foolish enough to strive to be ontologists and to deal with noumena.

In my collaboration with ontologists to build cognitive ontologies we have had to make many decisions regarding which cognitive terms generalize across different domains and which terms do not.

All object-oriented ontologists denounce human privilege over non-human entities.

With such venerable ontologists, the stage is set for a three-act opera seria with one rather rowdy intermezzo, where Kant will engage in bourgeois risk-free skirmishes with ancient, modern, and even post-modern sceptical buffoons.

Maurice Merleau-Ponty's (1968) refusal to see the object as something given only to the subject--and his concomitant assertion that as the subject gazes at the object, the object gazes back--remains the starting point for many contemporary object-oriented ontologists who attempt to understand the object apart from the hegemony of human subjectivity and intentionality.

But in truth we all are ontologists in our daily practices; we all regularly successfully navigate the social world.

Among my colleagues it is a question frequently broached (and not unacknowledged by her) whether faithful theologians can in fact be uncompromised ontologists. At any rate, in the grand--originally pagan--metaphysical tradition, radical individuality is eclipsed by prior commonality: essence (transcendent Being) precedes existence (being here and now).

Philosopher Edward Craig's assessment of the status of quantum logic in the "Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy" shows it is viewed differently by members of three camps: neoclassicists, quantum ontologists, and quantum logicians.

There's really no need to overturn the concept of relation in the cursory manner of the object-oriented ontologists, because there's already plenty in the history of philosophy since Aristotle to instruct us that relation is not always human or correlational, reciprocal, or even fixed or permanent, or anything more than a "moment" of relating that's always vanishing by dint of becoming and decay.

This love for montage is thus at odds with Godard's alleged fellow ontologists, Bazin and Krakauer, who in fact were notoriously suspicious of it.
