Can anyone provide me with a reference(s) to the idea that classification
and taxonomy, grouping like with like, etc., is a fundamental aspect of
human intelligence? Has anyone actually written about this? Presumably the
idea is what lies behind Borges' story about the imperial Chinese
classification of animals, for example (anyone know the title of the story
offhand?)
Thanks
