The Categories

By Aristotle

Book Overview

The Categories is a text from Aristotle's Organon that enumerates all the possible kinds of things that can be the subject or the predicate of a proposition. They are "perhaps the single most heavily discussed of all Aristotelian notions". The work is brief enough to be divided, not into books as is usual with Aristotle's works, but into fifteen chapters. The Categories places every object of human apprehension under one of ten categories (known to medieval writers as the Latin term praedicamenta). Aristotle intended them to enumerate everything that can be expressed without composition or structure, thus anything that can be either the subject or the predicate of a proposition.

Customer Reviews

Its fine.

Cheap print for the price. Feels a bit more like a brochure than a proper paper back. No introduction or footnotes. Really, you're better off just printing out the public domain translation.
