The present monograph is devoted to the field of applied ontology. Lees verder
Applied ontology is among those new topics that have recently entered the philosophical and scientific territories and have quickly received broad attention despite the numerous difficulties
it involves. For a number of historico-speculative reasons, the philosophical community remains indeed quite conservative (in the negative sense of the word) and only accepts with great difficulties new and vanguard ideas.
We seek to peruse here the stakes of applied ontology and to demonstrate the successful elaboration of new ideas in that field. The book is provocative because it seeks to foster new and nonstandard ideas that match the requirements of the development of today's science.
