This video focuses on Aristotle's work, the Categories, and examines his distinction in chapter 2 between something being "in" a subject, and something being predicated of a subject. There are four main possibilities, and each of those is discussed here, using Aristotle's own examples.

I'm taking a 400 level class on sophism and this video was a great help to clear up my confusion of this topic during reading. It would be awesome to hear some examples of the fallacies that arise with incorrect use of predicates as well!

Hi Dr Gregory Thanks for very useful videos. If the substance is the subject ( not in a subject or predicated in subject), what about the essence? Where do you put it this classifications?

Gregory B. Sadler I was referring to this one. Aristotle in general, "Categories" more specifically. I want to go in order so I can follow better but there are multiple chapter 6s and 8s. Its no big deal, thanks for the reply and all the hard work.
@GregoryBSadler 6 жыл бұрын
Yep. What you're talking about goes beyond having the videos "in order". You should be reading and rereading the book, going back and forth between topics. You'll get way more out of it that way. Still have zero idea what playlist you'd be referring to by "this", though - good chance to think about equivocal terms. There is no "Categories" playlist I've created.

Hi Mr Sadler, When aristotle says “the individual man” does he mean the entity man without any language prescribed to that entity, literally the entity or the existence itself or am I wrong here? should we just ignore the language when he says “individual man” and only imagine an entity? And how do we differentiate when he talks about the entity itself and the prescribed language of that entity? sorry for the trouble please answer all of these 👍
@GregoryBSadler Жыл бұрын
I have no idea what you mean by "language prescribed to that entity" or "the existence itself". I suspect you're confusing yourself about this pretty straightforward matter.
@vexxo7998 Жыл бұрын
@@GregoryBSadler I am in a habit of doing that in vain, you are not wrong. Now I think I understand a bit better and correct me if I am wrong; By individual man, aristotle means literally a particular sample from the species -man. One particular individual, who is distinguished from other men by his individuality(different interests, bodies, etc). (seems like this conclusion should have been obvious but wasn’t for me)

I don't really understand the difference of the second and third combination. When I say "this book is green" why is it in one case predicated of it, but not in it and in the other case in it, but not predicated of it.
@GregoryBSadler 6 жыл бұрын
Greenness is not the same thing as "is green". One is a property in the subject, the other is linguistic or conceptual.
@sebastianhelm1718 6 жыл бұрын
Wow thanks for the quick reply. So the second combination refers to nominalism and the third to the actual being that is there, is that right?
@GregoryBSadler 6 жыл бұрын
No. Nominalism is the name of a philosophical doctrine
@sebastianhelm1718 6 жыл бұрын
Well, that's obvious. But isn't nominalism the doctrine that assumes universals, like greenness, to be just words i.e. "linguistic concepts"?
@GregoryBSadler 6 жыл бұрын
That's one way to characterize it. But Aristotle isn't a nominalist. If you're still mixed up about this - and it is a tricky section of the work - I'd suggest booking a tutorial session. If that's of interest to you, here's my site - reasonio.wordpress.com/tutorials/

@galaddamodred1110 4 жыл бұрын
According to Kant, if I am not mistaken, being is not a predicate but a condition that makes predication possible. I think that's how he refuted the Ontological Argument.

Are substance and subject the same thing?

@user-iu6ug5cr9g 22 сағат бұрын
Not predicated: This book is this book (as in *this particular book* is, rather than attributive of, this book) Not in a subject: the book is this book, therefore it can't be *in* this book (as part of the whole of this book, since this book *is*, as in a pure state of being, this book) Prolix, I know, but am I in the ballpark? I cant go any further until I can grasp this. Help?

Hi Dr. Sandler, should not "this knowledge of grammar" or "this white/ness" fall under [not in a subject, but predicated of a subject] (individual non-substances)? However, [in a subject, but not predicable of a subject] should be the universals substance such as "man" or "horse"?

"This knowledge per se", as in "this knowledge alone, as it exists in this mind. "Grammatical", as attributive to that specific scrap of that substance of knowledge in your mind Again, just trying to sort ot out. Is this off-base? Ill shut up now
