I am looking for some literature and/or thoughts on the philosophies that underlie the various systems of object classification. I am working on a research project about the act of classifying the universe as applied to collections, about how people take possession of reality and create sense by categorizing and rationalizing things.
Any ideas, thoughts, hints, advice from the museum list ?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help and interest,
