The Discovery of Things: Aristotle's Categories and Their Context
Wolfgang-Rainer Mann
Aristotle's Categories can easily seem to be a statement of a naive, pre-philosophical ontology, centered around ordinary items. This book reveals that Aristotle's conception of things - now so engrained in Western thought as to seem a natural expression of common sense - was a hard-won philosophical achievement.
