	PhilPapers has a comprehensive categorization system with a 5-level hierarchy and more than 5000 categories. A categorization system of this size and complexity, however, presents problems. Some of these problems concern how the categories are related to one another. Some categories do not have proper super-categories (there are, for example, categories for ‘aesthetic cognition’ and ‘mathematical cognition’, but not for ‘cognition’ itself). In other cases, some categories are not subsumed by the proper super-categories (‘knowledge of emotion’, for example, is subsumed by ‘aspects of emotion’ instead of by ‘knowledge’). Other problems concern the rules that the users have to follow in order to classify their philosophical works. According to one of these rules, all philosophical works have to be placed in at least one leaf category. This means, however, that many of them are placed in the so-called ‘Misc. categories’. We shall argue, however, that there are both theoretical and practical reasons why these categories should be avoided. We note that this goal can be easily reached by using a replacement rule requiring that each work must be placed in a leaf category ''other than Misc''. or, where this is impossible, in the immediate super-category.
