Interesting presentation on applying realist ontology to archetypes\.

http://kr-med.org/icbofois2012/icbopresentations/TuesdayAfternoon/session8_paper7.pdf

I am still unconvinced that trying to apply realist ontological
principles to archetypes makes sense, or indeed helps much\.

Perhaps someone can explain this better\!\!

Ian,
I sent this paper to Thomas twomonths ago and he did a commentary on his blog.

It's worthy to read it
