The Ontology of the Physical Realm

Öz

In this paper, we investigate the nature of physical objects and their properties. For this purpose, we consider first the syntactic and semantic features of the linguistic expressions referring to the different ontological categories. Next, we elucidate the logical structure of the subject-predicate propositions, which are at the foundation of our ontological considerations. Finally, we inquire into one-over-many problem and evaluate the different solutions proposed for this problem.
