This is a book on how standard philosophical approach is mistaken in some ways and provides a revisionist approach to categories. It is must-read for people interested in understanding a pragmatic approach to categories and categorisation. This book offers a revisionist approach to categories, arguing that the standard philosophical approach is substantially correct in some respects, but markedly mistaken in others. The result is a distinctly pragmatic approach to categories and categorisation, with implications regarding philosophical problematic and paradox in philosophy of mind, epistemology and metaphysics, philosophy of science, social philosophy and ethics.
