Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is concerned with two intimately related topics of metaphysics: the identity of entities and the foundations of classification. What it adds to previous discussions of these topics is that it addresses them with respect to human-made entities, that is, artefacts. As the chapters in the book show, questions of identity and classification require other treatments and lead to other answers for artefacts than for natural entities. These answers are of interest to philosophers not only for their clarification of artefacts as a category of things but also for the new light they may shed on these issue with respect to to natural entities. This volume is structured in three parts. The contributions in Part I address basic ontological and metaphysical questions in relation to artefact kinds: How should we conceive of artefact kinds Are they real kinds How are identity conditions for artefacts and artefact kinds related The contributions in Part II address meta-ontological questions: What, exactly, should an ontological account of artefact kinds provide us with What scope can it aim for Which ways of approaching the ontology of artefact kinds are there, how promising are they, and how should we assess this In Part III, the essays offer engineering practice rather than theoretical philosophy as a point of reference. The issues addressed here include: How do engineers classify technical artefacts and on what grounds What makes specific classes of technical artefacts candidates for ontologically real kinds, and by which criteria 232 pp. Englisch.
