Where’s the ontology?

By Christian Toennesen

Responding to the line above, Brian Rappert made a serious attempt to sum up the day in a handful of questions:

Mike Lynch: Yes, that’s the question, where is it?

Moortje Marres: Not sure if ‘it’ is with me.

Ted Schatzki: You are kinda standing in it and it’s over there with those folk, but let’s not worry about it too much.

Arie Rip: It’s coming soon.

Other than that, it seemed extremely difficult to identify common threads in the various perspectives on what ontologies are, what they do and how they should be theorised.
