Ontology and epistemology

When I talk about ontology is it about physical objects only. When I talk about epistemology it is about physical, conceptual and symbolic entities.

You cannot talk about objects without the use of words and concepts. We will always be talking about these things through our concepts of them. Yet objects are independent of the concepts and symbols that are about them.

My point is, we must be clear about what aspect are we talking about: the physical, conceptual or symbolic.


One response to “Ontology and epistemology”

  1. That’s a fascinating perspective on ontology and epistemology! It’s true that our understanding of objects is often filtered through our concepts and symbols. Clarifying which aspect we’re discussing can indeed lead to a more precise and meaningful conversation. -ArConsultings.org
