Abstract
During the Renaissance there was a growing interest for the use of
diagrams within conceptual studies. This paper investigates the
historical and philosophical foundation of this renewed use of
diagrams in ontology as well as the modern relevance of this
foundation. We discuss the historical and philosophical background for
Jacob Lorhard's invention of the word 'ontology' as well as the
scientific status of ontology in the 16th and 17th century. We also
consider the use of Ramean style diagrams and diagrammatic ontology in
general. A modern implementation of Lorhard's ontology is discussed
and this classical ontology is compared to some modern ontologies.
