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.

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.

Glad you enjoy the videos

[@MrMarktrumble]

Thank you

[@GregoryBSadler]

You're welcome

[@ValvtaSilent]

Which book is that of Aristotle, dr.Sadler?

[@GregoryBSadler]

It's in the title of the video

[@variennecloete3962]

Ok my question goes as. Which is the species in the following pair of concepts? argon or Inert gases

[@GregoryBSadler]

From an Aristotelian point of view, argon is a species. Inert gasses is a genus. So is gasses

[@variennecloete3962]

Thank you !where can I find all your teachings, I'm struggling with philosophy ,it's complex and I need to up my grades yet change my attitude towards it.I'm in Namibia and the notes we got seems foreign to me.

[@GregoryBSadler]

It is indeed complex, and it's often not well taught by instructors over here, so I suspect that's likely the same over there

[@sarah041795]

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

[@GregoryBSadler]

I would not say that is the case

[@RobWickline]

aristotle has a lot to say about plato's forms in books 1+2 in the metaphysics, but its critical.
