Ontology and metaphysics are two terms that have never made sense to me. Every explanation seems metaphysical, and ontology is so broad as to be meaningless. My own decidedly barbaric solution has been to think of ontology as "what there is," and metaphysics as "how it works." I will not be responsible for what your professor might do to you if you offer him/her these definitions. Mark O'Connell oconnell-AT-oz.net
