    Ontology is the philosophical study of being and existence. It addresses questions about how entities are grouped into categories and which entities exist on the most fundamental level. There are two main perspectives in ontology: ontological materialism, which views material things as more real than the human mind, and ontological idealism, which sees immaterial phenomena like the human mind and consciousness as more real than material things. Ontology is an important area of philosophy as it helps discuss challenging questions to build theories and models and better understand the ontological status of the world and phenomena related to human existence and meaning.

    like particles and energy are more real than the
    human mind.
    > Ontological idealism --> immaterial phenomenon

    than meterial things.

    Why is ontology important in philosophy?
    > to discuss challenging question to build theory
    and models, and to better understand the
    ontological status of the world.
    > The human sciences ultimately study what could
    be called meaningful phenomena, e.g. world
    economy, parenthood, music, art; everything
    related to the general meaning and value of
    human existence (Ingthorsson, 2013).
