Aristotle, The Categories | Truth and Falsity of Statements | Philosophy Core Concepts

This video focuses on Aristotle's work, the Categories, and examines his discussion in chapter 10 of truth and falsity of opposed statements. In some cases, one statement must be true and the other false, but in some cases both can be false.

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

Nice brake down of some basic logic concepts. The contraries "Socrates is healthy or Socrates is ill" being one or the other seemed obvious at first, until Aristotle brought up what if Socrates doesn't exist then both are false (or what if he did exist and now he is dead). I jumped over that assumption on first glance. Dr Saddlers example of a fictional universe character helped to clarify the concept.
