Abstract
This paper critically assesses some recent attempts to develop and update the basic categories of Aristotle's ontology, by Jonathan Lowe and Brian Ellis. It defends these attempts in face of criticisms by John Heil, while also addressing, and responding to, some possible weaknesses in Lowe and Ellis's accounts. The paper defends Boyd's idea of higher order kinds as homeostatic property dusters.
