Subject: Philosopher's questions on Ruby (Was: Ruby for Philosophers)

Hi!

I changed the topic because "Ruby for Philosophers" is highly misleading.  
It suggests you want to present Ruby to Philosophers (say to do automatic  
theorem testing).

The basic class in Ruby is "Object", not "Class". Every object in Ruby is  
an instance of "Object" but most objects are no instance of "Class".

For the class hierarchy see

     http://objectgraph.rubyforge.org/

For the what makes up the Object class see

    http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Object.html

Start at

     http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Class.html

That depends on you mental disposition.

There hardly is anything more unforgivable than ignorance as it is known  
to be the most productive source of conflicts.
