to equivalence classes whose proportions the mind can manage; the question then arises as to whether or not there are one or more &dquo;natural&dquo; methods of classifying. Perhaps the most widely quoted opinion on the matter is that of the philosopher and biologist J. S. L. Gilmour. In his view, there is a single logical sense to the notion of &dquo;natural classification&dquo; which presumbly applies to any (empirical) domain at all, namely, that it must be &dquo;general&dquo;:
