ONTOLOGY

The ontology is established as ontic understanding; while in effect, the ontic covers all being in existence. Despite of any conceivable differences between the numerous regions of the real, everything in existence is somehow related to being. Therefore the being resides at the root of all real. So, the ontic approach designates the manner in which a being is, and simultaneously the ontic reveals how the very being as such comes to be. The ontic approach discloses the emergence of being and the further development of the specific kinds of being. In ontic terms, the being is generated as reality in existence, and its existence constructs the variety of beings. The ontic approach presents any particular being as something existing, and yet everything existing is ontically substantiated as a part of the realm of being. The being is in existence, and the existence is given always as beings; for the ontic approach illuminates the various dispositions of existing beings. Such existing beings are ontic structural types or categories: the ontic poses in categories, and these categories are generated through the process of being in existence. The categories circumscribe the distinct regions of the real – e. g. the economy, – and concurrently they constitute the inner architectonics and dynamics of every ontic region under consideration – e. g. need, wealth, markets, money, and business cycle. All knowledge of the categories is ontological, but the categories are strictly ontic, and they do not require some kind of knowledge of them for their being in existence. Yet, any understanding of the ontic is achievable only as something ontological, because it is featured in the framework of knowledge and is conveyed by the means of concepts (or notions as compounded concepts) and language. As such, the ontology is inevitably a conceptual grasping of the categories.
