| Ontology: is the set of material or immaterial objects, of which a theory assumes that it can make statements about them. According to classical logic, an existence assumption must be assumed. In other fields of knowledge, the question of whether relations really exist or are merely mental constructs, is not always regarded as decisive as long as one can work with them. Immaterial objects are e.g. linguistic structures in linguistics. See also existence, mathematical entities, theoretical entities, theoretical terms, reality, metaphysics, semantic web._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Peter F. Strawson on Ontology - Dictionary of Arguments
Sellars I XLIV Ontology/Sellars: at the end there is an ontology in which there are only processes. Absolute processes: objects are no longer is mentioned. ("It is raining"), the word "it" here represents no object. >Process ontology. Strawson had also considered this idea, and dropped it for the reason, among others, that objectless processes such as lightning or bangs, cannot always be identified directly without the reference to other objects. >Identification/Strawson, >Particulars/Strawson._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
