In this eBook, Conceptual Categories and the Structure of Reality, the title very well describes the book's content. Within the book's pages a selection of academics from a variety of human behaviour, human/social science and humanities disciplines write about their research all of which can be typified by their consideration of how categories are used to structure understanding of phenomena. These authors have considered how reality may be understood through notions such as categorial and structural ontologies, part-whole relatoinships (mereology), the qualitative, quantitative and philosophical use of the facet theory approach to research, mapping sentences and declarative mapping sentence, hermeneutics, concepts and constructs, similarities and differences. The resulting collection presents the foregoing conceptual and empirical approaches to knowledge development in general (chapter 1&3 Hackett); Phillips and Wislons' review of compositional syntax in bird calls (chapter 2); neurobehavioral decision systems (chapter 4 Foxall); representations of human psychological processes (chapter 5 Juan-Miguel López-Gil; Rosa Gil; Roberto García); free associations mirroring and its relation to self- and world-related concepts (chapter 6 Martin Kuška; Radek Trnka; Aleš Antonín Kuběna; Jiří Růžička); local knowledge and going beyond the data (chapter 7 Steven Phillips); categorical etiologies of speech sound disorders (chapter 8 Kelly Farquharson); similarity of visual appearance (chapter 9 Nao Nakatsuji; Hisayasu Ihara; Takeharu Seno; Hiroshi Ito); and a consideration of the seminal writing of David Oderberg's on the categorial classification of reality (chapter 10 Hackett).

Die Frage nach der Einheit ist ein Grundproblem der Ontologie, denn die Art und Weise, wie Einheit bestimmt wird, charakterisiert und prägt jede Ontologie. Ein spezifisch ontologischer Zugang hat dabei beträchtliche Implikationen, die weit über den Bereich der theoretischen Ontologie hinaus Folgen für die Behandlung anthropologischer, ethischer und auch theologischer Fragen haben. Das Problem der Einheit, ihrer Kriterien und ihrer Erscheinungsweisen stellt sich für die Autoren dieses philosophischen Sammelbands in mehrfacher Hinsicht. Besondere Kontroversen löst vor allem die Frage nach der temporalen Einheit aus. Gibt es Einheit durch die Zeit? Wie plausibel ist die Annahme von "endurers"? Ist die Überzeugung, dass Personen durch ihre Lebenszeit hindurch dieselben bleiben, begründbar, oder ist diese Überzeugung nur ein lebensweltliches Vorurteil, das korrigiert werden muss? Welche Rolle spielen die Begriffe der Potenzialität, der Vermögen und Dispositionen in diesem Zusammenhang? Kann die (zeitliche) Einheit von Entitäten mit Hilfe dieser Begriffe ontologisch gedeutet werden?

"The universe may well have begun with an immense act of fragmentation, "the big bang," that sent particles flying in all directions to perform spectacular acts of creation and destruction. The fragment, volatile and unpredictable, is not simply a static part of a once-whole thing but itself something in motion. Drawing upon art history, archaeology, literature, numismatics, philosophy, and film, this book explores the significance of the fragment and addresses the powerful drives that have impelled it into the cultural mainstream."--Jacket.
