What is the difference between category of being and class of being?

>>2308863
Is a housewife better than a hooker?

>>2308870
Of course

>>2308876
Then that makes them separate categories with the housewife being in a higher class than the prostitute. Is it better to be rich than poor?

>>2308886
And so the highest class is the class of being while everything else is a category?

>>2308888
The highest caste is the lowest caste and the richest housewife is the best whore. That's a metaphor for the USA prostituting itself to the world, compromising all its values for material gain.

terrible thread

>>2308899
Doesn't answer my question though

>>2308907
That read like something a Brahmin would whisper to his 14 year old wife about an untouchable butcher.

>>2308914
Neither this

>>2308921
Then it's all just labels being, but an apple isn't a pear regardless of how you label it.

>Let us call any such less comprehensive classes the ‘categories of being’ or the ‘ontological categories’. (The former term, if not the latter, presupposes a particular position on one question about the nature of being: that everything is, that the universal class is the class of beings, the class of things that are.
I still don't get it.
