- Fundamental Concepts:
- Reality
- Experience
- Matter
- Epistemological Concepts (dependent upon Fundamental Concepts):
- Knowledge (built upon Experience and Reality)
- Perception (built upon Experience and Reality)
- Objectivity (built upon Reality)
- Metaphysical Concepts (dependent upon Fundamental Concepts):
- Intention (built upon Experience and Reality)
- Belief (built upon Experience and Reality)
- Divine (built upon Reality)
- Linguistic Concepts (built upon Fundamental Concepts):
- Language (built upon Experience and Reality)
- Meaning (built upon Experience and Reality)
- Beauty (built upon Experience and Reality)
- Philosophical Concepts (built upon all previous groupings):
- Cause-effect
- Doubt
- Inquiry
- Life
- Meaninglessness
In this hierarchy, the Fundamental Concepts form the basis for all the other groupings, as they provide the essential building blocks for understanding the world. The Epistemological, Metaphysical, and Linguistic Concepts all build upon the Fundamental Concepts in different ways, either by exploring how we know what we know, or by examining the more abstract aspects of reality that are beyond our direct experience. Finally, the Philosophical Concepts draw upon all the previous groupings to explore the nature and meaning of existence and our place in the world.
A possible name for this grouping result could be “Ontology of Foundational Concepts and Their Branches”. This name reflects the hierarchy of concepts, with the “Foundational Concepts” forming the basis for the other groupings, or “Branches”. It also uses the term “Ontology”, which is often used in philosophy and computer science to describe a systematic classification of concepts and their interrelationships.
