The essays collected in this book deal with a) general ontology basically in two meanings: as a philosophical discipline that studies “being”, that is as a part of metaphysics, and as a theory that deals with types of entities, specifically those types of abstract entities that are allowed in a language (ontology as specification of a conceptualization), and b) formal ontology both as a “categorial ontology” and as a formalized discipline that represents an “ontological” part of the varied world of formal disciplines. This collection introduces the work of researchers from Europe, Middle-East, United States, Canada and Australia. Papers ranges across many topics of contemporary inquiry in ontology: foundations of ontology, primary relations (identity and identification), mereology, ontology of physical entities, trope ontology, modality and ontological imports of logic and theory of truth.
