Theory and History of Ontology

For an overview see the Index of the Pages, the SITE MAP or the Alphabetical Index of the
Philosophers: A-F - G-O - P-Z; You can also

This site, created April 13, 2000, contains now 195 web pages, 10 essays in PDF format, more than 11.200 bibliographic references and it is
best viewed with a recent version of one of the following browsers: Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari.
I am currently adding to the existing bibliographies abstracts or citation that will, I think, facilitate study for the seriously interested readers.
In March 2010 I created three new sites (currently under development) for, respectively, Italian, French and German readers; the new sites
will contain bibliographical informations and references to works published in the cited languages.
The pages of this site are valid XHTML 1.0 strict and the style of the pages is defined with external CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) level 2.1; the code-set is
Unicode (UTF-8) and the only fonts used are Palatino Linotype (Windows), Book Antiqua (Macintosh) and, for the logical symbols, Lucida Sans Unicode (Windows),
Lucida Grande (Macintosh).
To see correctly Greek accents and logical formulas you must have installed two fonts that are shipped with Windows and Macintosh operating systems: Palatino
Linotype (for Windows) or Book Antiqua (for Macintosh); to see correctly the logical symbols the font Lucida Sans Unicode (Windows) or Lucida Grande
(Macintosh) is required; these fonts can be downloaded from free resources on the Internet (search: download Unicode fonts).
I am working to a mobile version of this site, that I will release in March 2010.
The mobile version will contains 757 web pages, the content is the same of the English site, but in this version I dropped images and external links to non-mobile web pages; the mobile site will be best viewed with a recent version of one of the following browsers: Opera Mobile, Opera Mini, Skyfire, Safari, Internet Explorer.
The mobile pages are valid XHTML Mobile 1.2, the page max size is 20 KB, and the style of the pages is defined with external CSS (Cascading Style Sheets); the code-set is Unicode (UTF-8).
As said above, to see correctly Greek accents and logical formulas you must have installed on your device the font Palatino Linotype (for Windows) or Book Antiqua (for Macintosh); to see correctly the logical symbols the font Lucida Sans Unicode (Windows) or Lucida Grande (Macintosh) is required.
Please note that Opera Mini (and other browsers) use the default font of the phone and will not display correctly Greek accents and logical symbols.
How to add fonts to your Windows Mobile device?
Windows users:
Connect your mobile device to your PC with ActiveSync
On your PC go to C:\Windows\Fonts and look for the font that you would like to add into your mobile device
Now open up the Mobile Device folder on your PC
In that folder go to \Windows\Font\
Move the fonts that you have selected from the directory C:\Windows\Font\ on your PC to \Windows\Font\ on your mobile device
Android or Iphone users can easily find the instructions searching: add fonts to Android or add fonts to Iphone.
