Re: Categories in Mathematics and Philosophy

Ed,

There's a question that keeps coming up in several discussions
about the pre-Aristotelian meaning/usage of the word "kategoria".

Could you take a look at this thread on the Conceptual Graphs List
and tell us what you know about it?

Thanks in advance,

Jon Awbrey
