Hi Nicola, Ranjan and Fil
you know, the worst thing of being a bum is that one is always on the edge of falling into a depression. but the nicest thing of being a bum is that you
know all your friends are true. it amazes me how many friends i can still make on this list, knowing the temper that i have. thanks for being forgiving.

p.s. i will embarrass myself by translating the german text here:
Ontology (from the greek 'on', being, and logos, teachings)
in the widest sense, the teachings of being and/or that which exists.
The name "Ontology" appears first in 17 Century., but in actuality one finds
ontological contemplation since the history of philosophy.
Already Parmenides speaks of the one, eternal and constant being and places
thereby 'being' in the center of the philosophical interest.
Epistemologie (Greek. science teachings) - theory of knowledge
