The Structure of Being in Aristotles Metaphysics

Více o knize

Aristotle's exploration of being in Metaphysics categorizes it into four types: accidental being, being as truth, potential/actual being, and per se being. Per se being, also known as intrinsic being, encompasses substances and various categories such as quantity and quality. Aristotle emphasizes that accidental being is indeterminate and not suitable for knowledge, while being as truth receives limited attention in his work. The text delves into the significance of these categories and their implications for understanding existence.
