This is a general theory of objects and object-relations.1 There are five object-types in the world: discursive objects, material objects, relational objects, structural-institutional-systemic objects (this type includes discursive and material configurations) and people, including the self, which is always experienced differently from the way other people are experienced. Each of them has different characteristics and, because objects have a dynamic structure, in rare circumstances they may change their status as objects; indeed, what constitutes an object-type is also dynamic. In an object-ontology, objects, including human beings, have acquired dispositions. It is also possible to identify different types of concepts if we understand a concept-type in relation to how it can be used in a way of life. Some of these are: generalisations, abstractions, symbols in the mind, acquired dispositions (this is the use that I will be focusing on in this book), object categorisations, valued configurations, algorithmic formations and semantic conditionals. The reason for doing this is to configure and reconfigure the idea of a concept and, in the process, configure and reconfigure the concept of learning.
