Aristotle, The Categories | The Category of Quality | Philosophy Core Concepts

This video focuses on Aristotle's work, the Categories, and examines his discussion in chapter 8 of the category of quality (to poion), one of the most important of the categories of predication

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

Thanks Prof Sadler! Greetings from Mexico.

Professor Sadler, thanks for this and other such great videos. You are doing a great service to the cause of philosophy and I have benefitted immensely from your lectures especially the ones on Phenomenology of Spirit.

I wanted to ask about which books you recommend on the topic of Quality and the concept of qualitative difference. Examples of non living and living, unconscious and conscious. Are there genuine qualitative differences or just fluctuating magnitudes or quantities of the same kind of stuff. Also I think relevant is the existence of uninstantiated universal. If they do exist then in what mode. If they do not then how come anything begin to instantiate it, something from nothing?

Thanks in advance

Awesome. Looking forward very much to Aristotle's category of Quality. The distinctions were surprisingly novel. I'm not the type to take much interest in traditional exercises, as it seems to absorb too much of my energy. As Donald Robertson posited on the Stoicism Facebook page the to notions of Cosmology and Life/opinion, the concepts and idea that flow from philosophical classic teaching are initially entries into a notional and conceptual stratum of perceptual gaze, whilst the pleasure is to live a life of novel experience as of the affects of the new perspectives, hence from the Stoical position ones thoughts and impressions congeal around a new reality. Simply arguing but this is but the life of the mind, but has not life exceeded its former limits with a language which has gone further beyond a former perceptual world. To respect the works of the philosopher have we not gained the wisdom of a frame of cognition beyond the ordinary experience of our self?
