  Category mistake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A category mistake is a semantic or ontological error by which a property (or some category of being) is incorrectly ascribed to a particular ontological type or token in a proposition and therefore is meaningless or nonsense.
The term category mistake was introduced by Gilbert Ryle in his definitive work The Concept of Mind to remove what he argued to be a confusion over the nature of mind born from Cartesian metaphysics.
It was alleged to be a mistake to treat the mind as an object made of an immaterial substance because predications of substance are not meaningful for a collection of dispositions and capacities.

 Category of being: Just the facts...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
In metaphysics (The philosophical study of being and knowing) (in particular, ontology (The metaphysical study of the nature of being and existence)), the different kinds or ways of being (The state or fact of existing) are called categories of being or simply categories.
A category, more precisely, is any of the broadest class ((biology) a taxonomic group containing one or more orders) es of things - 'thing' here meaning anything whatever that can be discussed and cannot be reduced (additional info and facts about reduced) to any other class.
Category came into use with Aristotle (One of the greatest of the ancient Athenian philosophers; pupil of Plato; teacher of Alexander the Great (384-322 BC)) ; one of his treatises is called the Categories, discussing Substance, Quantity, Quality, Relation, Place, Time, Posture, State, Action, and Passion.

 Category of being   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
According to the Aristotelian tradition, a being is anything that can be said to be in the various senses of this word.Hence, to investigate the categories of being is to determine the most fundamental senses in which things can be said tobe.
For example, what it means to take the category physical object seriously as a category of being is to assert that the concept of physical objecthood cannot be reduced to or explicated in anyother terms - not, for example, in terms of bundles of properties.

Category Management is a distributor/supplier process of managing categories as strategic business units, producing enhanced business results by focusing on delivering consumer value.
These category business plans are aimed at improving the overall performance of the category, instead of buying the best "deals" and then merchandising the best "sale" without understanding the impact of merchandising plans on the category as a whole.
Category Management will be closely aligned with a concept called Market Place Planing, both of which are essential components of strategic business planning.

 530522: "An Exposition of the First Triad of Categories of the Hegelian Logic--Being, Non-Being, Becoming"
The categories were for Kant, like space and time, pure forms without content or matter, prior to all experience, and not given from any external source but contributed to cognition by the mind itself.
Being is not chosen as the first category merely by chance or caprice.
This Being which Hegel is speaking of as the first category is the "Pure Being" that we have to think, not any particular sort of being, such as this desk, this book, that chair.

 Pico: Of Being and Unity

And since life is a certain particular being, and wisdom likewise, and justice, if we remove from them this condition of particularity and limitation, that which remains will not be this or that being, but being itself, simple being, being universal, not with the universality of attribution but with the universality of perfection.
Just as, therefore, all things desire being, so all desire the good, and first of all they desire that good which corresponds to their natural being, since that is the foundation of all other goods, which come to it in such a way that they are unable to stand without it.

 Modeling Interference Effects In Instructed Category Learning
Category learning is often seen as a process of inductive generalization from a set of class-labeled exemplars.
