Abstract

This paper is concerned with the primitive constraints on Information Systems’ and Humans’ representations of the reality. We intend to support the idea that a proper understanding of what is at stake in Information Systems Ontologies and its relation to the representational constraints in human cognition may solve a recent issue about the status of philosophical intuitions in metaphysics.
