Re: Judgmentalism:  that translate to e that you do not like them, which is fine with me.
But.
Citing Aristotle, Plato and the rest of the people as you did the other day as pre-runners of ontology sounds to me a very Marxist move who started their similar list with Proudon, La Salle, The Luddites, Feuerbach, Hegel, etc.to support their point and got even poets and shop stewarts got in there as predecessors of their philiosophy called scientific socialism. But science or scientific is nothing much to be proud of. Early medical resercher were grave robbers, "chemists" were alchemists, and what did you get in the end? For instance Medicine is not science, ask the parctitioners, and they are even licensed to kill a fetus which objectively has a future to be used up asa sparepart for some demand in the market, your god and doom.

Frank,

On that point I completely agree:

> to remember.

That is why I believe that it is premature to choose one ontology
that is canonized as an official standard.  My recommendation has
always been that we should develop a systematic classification
(a lattice or at least a partial ordering) of all ontologies that
meet minimal criteria for coherence.

Then the choice between them should be determined by the
marketplace:  the users can choose which one(s) are most
appropriate for their problems.

Re judgmentalism:  Proponents of Marxism, Freudianism, and
Objectivism are among the most judgmental people on earth.

John
