Philosophical Studies and Generalizations of Applied Onthologies

Summary/Abstract: The present paper considers the last philosophical investigations and achievements in Bulgaria in the field of applied ontologies. It begins with a general review of the essence of ontology as a philosophical discipline and its close relationship with human knowledge as well as with the function of ontology as technology for the systematization of knowledge. Next the new arguments are considered in favour of the usefulness of process ontology as a general ontological framework, especially the basic statements of the theory of general processes, and the relationship of process ontology with the hierarchical levels of reality. It is paid a special attention on the substantiation and description of the differences between process and event in philosophical literature in the framework of contemporary process ontology. Finally, possible application is considered of process ontologies for the investigation and achievement of new knowledge with the help, first, of a formal-ontological model of the theory of general processes using an example of mereological formalization of dynamic (process) ontology, and second, of a process ontological approach to the investigation of the so-called anticipatory systems.
