Abstract

In order to set forth what I take to be the most fundamental ontological categories, I will present four dichotomies — four ways of dividing things into exclusive and exhaustive subsets. In each case one of the subsets will be characterized positively and the other negatively. I will also attempt, so far as possible, to characterize the subsets in positive terms.
