- Abstract
- Some theory of classification underlies most practical activities, whether individual or social. It is involved in most attempt to understand the structure or reality on a metaphysical level and it is presupposed in the formulation of scientific laws. The logical and meterial principles of classification are covered as well as various general problems and criteria of classification. Differing classification principles in particular domains such as the natural sciences and medicine and in information are discussed as well as the place and role of classification in scientific method, its relation to and dependence on theory, scientific nomenclature and the philosophical issues through the heritage of Plato and Aristotle
