About this book
Aristotle's foundational work, **The Categories**, introduces one of Western philosophy's most influential frameworks for understanding reality itself. Translated by E. M. Edghill, this essential philosophical text explores how we name and classify things—from the distinction between equivocal naming (where the same word means different things) to univocal naming (where definition remains constant). Through careful analysis of language and being, Aristotle examines what can be predicated of subjects and what exists within subjects, laying groundwork for centuries of metaphysical inquiry. The Categories serves as the logical foundation for understanding substance, quality, quantity, and the ten fundamental categories that structure all existence. Written in ancient Greek philosophy but remaining strikingly relevant, this work demonstrates how precise thinking about language reveals deeper truths about the nature of reality itself. Perfect for students of philosophy, logic, and metaphysics, as well as anyone seeking to understand the roots of Western thought, **The Categories** offers profound insights into how we organize and comprehend our world. This audiobook is ideal for listeners interested in classical philosophy, logical reasoning, or exploring the timeless ideas that shaped intellectual history.
