5Functions, roles and dispositions revisited. A new classification of realizablesIn M. Boeker, H. Herre, R. Hoehndorf & F. Loebe (eds.), OBML 2012. Workshop Proceedings. Dresden, September 27-28, . 2012.The concept of a function is central both to biology and to technology. But there is an intricate debate how functions as well as related entities like dispositions and roles are to be represented in top level ontologies and how they are to be related. We review important philosophical accounts and ontological models for functions and roles and discuss three models for the relation of functions and dispositions. We conclude that mainly because of the need to account for ma…Read more

4KlassifikationenIn Ludger Jansen & Barry Smith (eds.), Biomedizinische Ontologie. Wissen strukturieren für den Informatik-Einsatz, Vdf Hochschulverlag. pp. 67-83. 2008.It has long been a standard practice for the natural sciences to classify things. Thus, it is no wonder that, for two and a half millennia, philosophers have been reflecting on classifications, from Plato and Aristotle to contemporary philosophy of science. Some of the results of these reflections will be presented in this chapter. I will start by discussing a parody of a classification, namely: the purportedly ancient Chinese classification of animals described by Jorge Luis Borges. I will show…Read more

Kinds and ExplanationsIn Mirosław Szatkowski (ed.), E. J. Lowe and Ontology, Routledge. pp. 165-187. 2022.Sparrows fly because they are birds. This mushroom is poisonous because it is an Amanita muscaria. Pointing out the kind to which things belong explains many of their properties. Jonathan Lowe’s four-category ontology and his account of laws of nature provide a framework to account for the explanatory appeal of referring to kind membership. For Lowe, “Electron has Unit-negative charge” is a typical example for a law of nature: a kind universal characterized by a property universal. We present bo…Read more
