Produktbeschreibung
"The Categories" is a foundational work in philosophy by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. This collection of stories authored by "Aristotle" seeks to gather many of his Nonfiction, history, Classics concepts into a single draft and provide them at an inexpensive price so that everyone can read them. Some stories are fascinating and fantastic, while others sneak up on you and draw you in. This 4th century BCE work is a foundational examination of ontology-the study of the nature of being and existence. Aristotle's "Categories" is a brief treatise divided into short chapters, and "categories," each of which addresses a distinct aspect of how language and mind categorize and describe reality. The book opens with a consideration of substance, highlighting the central importance of particular beings or substances in our conceptual framework. Aristotle divides substances into two categories: substances in and of themselves (particulars) and characteristics or qualities (universals). The story has so many twists and turns that can engage a reader. Some stories are gruesome and bizarre, while others softly creep up on you and pull you in. This book additionally dives into other categories, like quantity, relation, place and time, and other one action, to explain how these ideas impact our view of the world. Aristotle also investigates the concepts of potentiality and actuality, which serve as the foundation for his metaphysical theories.

Autorenporträt
Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) He was an ancient Greek philosopher and scientist whose thought determined the course of Western intellectual history for two centuries. In 335, he established his own school in Athens, the Lyceum. His intellectual range was very wide, covering the greater part of science and various art streams. His ethical and political theory, particularly his concepts of ethical virtues and human growing "happiness," continues to have a philosophical impact. He wrote productively. His major surviving works include the Organon, De Anima's (On the Soul), Physics, Metaphysics, Nicomachean ethics, Eudemian Ethics, Magna Moralia, Poetics, Politics, and Rhetoric, as well as more different works on science and natural history. His father, Nicomachus, was King Amyntas of Macedon's personal physician. Aristotle learned about biology and medical information from his father when he was young. When Aristotle was approximately thirteen, both of his parents died, and Proxenus of Atarneus became his guardian. Although little is known about Aristotle's youth, he most likely spent some time at the Macedonian palace, where he formed his initial links with the Macedonian royalty.
