Synopsis "Categorias (in Spanish)"

El breve e incompleto texto que nos ha llegado con el título de Categorías es probablemente el escrito de Aristóteles que más comentaristas y lectores ha tenido a lo largo de toda la tradición. Objeto de estudios detallados a lo largo de toda tradición. Objeto de estudios detallados desde el siglo I a. C., este tratado fue, durante toda la Edad Media, fundamental para el Occidente cristiano e influyó también en otros ámbitos culturales. En esta obra el Estagirita presenta una clasificación de los predicados en los que se expresa el conocimiento que tenemos de las cosas. En el marco de esa teoría formula por primera vez tesis fundamentales de su filosofía, que representan su despedida definitiva del platonismo y que serían decisivas para la historia del pensamiento posterior. La traducción directa del griego, la detallada anotación y la extensa introducción han estado a cargo del doctor Eduardo Sinnott, profesor de Filosofía y de lenguas y literaturas clásicas, quien realizó estudios de Filosofía, Filología Griega y Lingüística General en la Universidad de Münster (Alemania), en la que se doctoró. Ha traducido para la colección Colihue Clásica otros dos textos de Aristóteles, la Poética y la Ética Nicomaquea.

Aristotle (Stagira, 384 BC-Chalcis, 322 BC) was a philosopher, polymath, and Greek scientist born in the city of Stagira, in the north of Ancient Greece. He is considered, along with Plato, the father of Western philosophy. His ideas have had a huge influence on the intellectual history of the West for more than two millennia.

He was a disciple of Plato and other thinkers, such as Eudoxus of Cnidus, during the twenty years he was at the Academy of Athens. Shortly after Plato's death, Aristotle left Athens to be the tutor of Alexander the Great in the Kingdom of Macedonia for almost 5 years. In the last stage of his life, he founded the Lyceum in Athens, where he taught until a year before his death.

Aristotle wrote about 200 works, of which only 31 have been preserved (none of them intended for publication) in the Corpus Aristotelicum on a wide variety of topics, including: logic, metaphysics, philosophy of science, ethics, political philosophy, aesthetics, rhetoric, physics, astronomy, and biology. Aristotle transformed many, if not all, of the areas of knowledge he addressed. He is recognized as the founding father of logic and biology, since although there are reflections and writings on both subjects before him, it is in Aristotle's work that the first systematic investigations are found. Aristotle has also been called the father of political science, zoology, embryology, natural law, scientific method, rhetoric, psychology, realism, criticism, individualism, teleology, and meteorology.
