摘要
Quinn (Biol Philos 32: 581-598, 2017) offered seven definitions of "cladist" and discussed the context in which they are used in relation to historical and current debates in systematics. As a member of her study taxon, I offer some contextual color commentary, clarifications on the views of "pattern cladists" regarding monophyly, ancestors, synapomorphy and other concepts, a definition of "syncretist", and some thoughts on cladistics and philosophy in the twenty first century.
