(X subfields Y) means X has as a subfield Y. For instance, (Philosophy subfields Ethics) or (Philosophy subfields African_philosophy) are true. Desirable Inferential Support: Transitivity.
(X superfields Y) means (Y subfields X), this subfields. Desirable Inferential Support: Transitivity.
(X subconcept_of Y) means X is a subconcept of Y, where a subconcept is a definitional specialization (in particular, it is not theory dependent). Three main types of examples: 1) Space_concept_in_philosophy_of_architecture subconcept_of Space_concept_in_aesthetics and Space_concept_in_aesthetics subconcept_of Space_concept_in_philosophy; 2) Feminine_beauty_concept_in_aesthtetics subconcept_of Beauty_concept_in_aesthetics 3) Comic_concept_in_literary_criticsm subconcept_of Genre_concept_in_literary_criticism and subconcept_of Tragic_concept_in_literary_criticism. But NOT: Relation_concept_in_metaphysics subconcept_of Category_concept_in_metaphysics. These are siblings because theories can vary, whereas the above are not theory dependent. Desirable Inferential Support: Transitivity.
(X active_in_fields Y) means philosopher X contributred to philosophical field Y. For instance, (Aristotle active_in_fields Ethics) is true but more specifically (Aristotle active_in_fields Ancient_greek_ethics) is preferrable. Desirable Inferential Support: If (X active_in_fields Y) and (Z subfields Y), then (X active_in_fields Z). So, it should follow from (Aristotle active_in_fields Ancient_greek_ethics) and (Ethics subfields Ancient_greek_ethics) that (Aristotle active_in_fields Ethics).
(X concept_in_field Y) means that the philosophical concept X occurs or is discussed in philosophical field Y. For instance, (Beauty concept_in_field Aesthetics). Desirable Inferential Support: If (X active_in_fields Y) and (Z subfields Y), then (X active_in_fields Z). So, it should follow from (Aristotle active_in_fields Aesthetics) and (Aesthetics subfields Philosophy) that (Beauty concept_in_field Philosophy).
PRELIMINARY MATERIAL: (X philosopher_to_concept Y) means that the philosopher X is related to the philosophical concept Y. This is a very general relation which could be further specialized. It is to be understood as the RELATED-TERM relation of a thesaurus. For instance, (Aristotle philosopher_to_concept Concept_of_category_in_aristotelian_philosophy), but also possibly (Kant philsoopher_to_concept Judgement). Desirable Inferential Support: UNCLEAR AT THE MOMENT..
PRELIMINARY MATERIAL: (X concept_to_philosopher Y) means (Y philosopher_to_concept X)
