Subject: Re: BHA: Brian Ellis revisited


Dear Ruth,

I am quite interested in following up this discussion. 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. Myhre
