The assignment events, objects, state of beings, etc., to an
experiential category is a fundamental activity carried out by
human (and by other animals). So rudimentary are the processes
involved in categorizing that it is indeed impossible to imagine
conscious awareness to exist without the presence of categories. A
considerable body of writing exists on categories dating from the
times of Classical philosophy. Plato developed a categorical
ontology and Aristotle produced one of the earliest examples of a
complex understanding of basic ontologies. A number of other
categorially structured ontologies have been proposed including
those by Lowe, Westerhoff, Chisholm, etc. The book is an edited
collection of up to the moment essays that address critical aspects
on the understanding of categories and categorial systems. The
perspectives included in the book are drawn from philosophy,
psychology, theology, divinity, comparative cognition and facet
theory. The authors are all renowned experts in the area of their
writing. Topics addressed include both contemporary advances in the
understanding of perennial debates and latest thinking upon how
categories are employed to structure our experiences of the world
we live in. The book is distinct as being written by philosophers
and psychologists. The book is a collection of writings from
selected academics at the fore of debates and understandings of
categories in contemporary thought. The text provides a single
source for contemporary scholarship in categories. No single text
that brings together expositions of categorial experiences for
students and academics within the above listed disciplines.
