Aristotle, The Categories | Aristotle on Species and Genus | Philosophy Core Concepts

This video focuses on Aristotle's work, the Categories, and examines his distinction in chapter 5 between two sorts of secondary substances - species (eidos) and genus (genos). Species are types of things, i.e. of primary substances or individually existing things. Genuses have a similar relation to species, as species do to individual things.

My videos are used by students, lifelong learners, other professors, and professionals to learn more about topics, texts, and thinkers in philosophy, religious studies, literature, social-political theory, critical thinking, and communications. These include college and university classes, British A-levels preparation, and Indian civil service (IAS) examination preparation

Its impressive how well thought out Aristotle's categories are, the attention to detail and definition are particularly impressive. I like how Dr. Sadler discusses the translation, particularly with Aristotle the meaning of every work seems to be of importance, translating some of his Greek to English and capturing the original meaning must be challenging.

I have a suspicion watching these videos that Aristotle's catagories sounds a lot like Plato's ladder of love, and his forms.
