Definition of Ontology

What is Ontology?

Ontology is the philosophical study of being.  Our approach to ontology is informed by a phenomenological perspective: as an experimentation with the question: how does any thing come to show up as some thing whatsoever. Not the study of what kinds of things ultimately exist but the more primordial question of why and how things show up as things at all. This primordial experience is an emergent creative outcome of ongoing worlding.
