I am especially interested in Ellis' distinction between object (substance) and process. Implicit in this distinction, however is another one, namely that of events and processes. I think it is a serious defect of Bhaskars system that he fails to distinguish between processes and events. I will elaborate this further in a later post to this list. As I am without a computer right now I can't follow this thread until I get my hands on another computer (maybe in one week). Best Regards, Ronny S.
