Description

Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Philosophy - Philosophy of the Ancient World, grade: A, University of Nairobi, language: English, abstract: The paper shows that it is possible to find dissenting views to Aristotle's text "The Categories". However, the author argues that Aristotle's metaphysics is credible and influential even today. When considering for example substance, place, time, quantity and quality are inescapable when seeking to understand properties of matter. They also can explain properties of incorporeal beings. Granted Aristotle's metaphysics is better understood by abstraction, his definitions are explicable, and understandable.
