Extract

Any discussion of the relativity of categories necessarily opens up questions of prime interest for the theory of knowledge, and it appears to me that L. von Bertalanffy's paper (Philosophy of Science Oct. 1955) points to certain implications which, though they were incidental to his particular approach to the problem, might repay further elaboration.
