THE THIRD AND FIFTH CHAPTER OF ARISTOTLE’S CATEGORIAE FROM A PREJUDICATIVE POINT OF VIEW

Summary/Abstract: The present paper states a new point of view concerning Aristotle’s Categoriae, i.e. the prejudicative point of view. Starting from some distinctions Aristotle himself made among different types of relations among words, thoughts, and things, the author proves that prejudicative forms were largely used by Aristotle, even if he never gave them such a name. The main achievement following from the discovery of prejudicative relations is represented by a deeper clarification of the meaning of Aristotle’s logic, but also a proof that his works are still to be researched upon.
