work_jm72x3puzba75j5lmkmijr54v4	Muhammad Ali Khalidi	The Pitfalls of Microphysical Realism	2011		.pdf	text/html	515	36	58	I am Presidential Professor of Philosophy at City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate Center. My current project is a book titled, Cognitive Ontology: Taxonomic Practices in the Mind-Brain Sciences, which is supported by an Insight Grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). More information about publications, teaching, and political writings can be accessed through the links at the top right. In recent years, essentialism has been the dominant account of natural kinds among philosophers, but the essentialist view has encountered resistance, especially among naturalist metaphysicians and philosophers of science. Informed by detailed examination of classification in the natural and social sciences, this book argues against essentialism and for a naturalist account of natural kinds. On the basis of this account, he maintains that there can be natural kinds in the social sciences as well as the natural sciences.	./cache/work_jm72x3puzba75j5lmkmijr54v4.pdf	./txt/work_jm72x3puzba75j5lmkmijr54v4.txt
