Non-Substantial Individuals In Aristotle’S Categories

Abstract Aristotleistotle ‘s C’ategories1 classifies entities by using two predication relations, being ‘said of’ a subject and being ‘in’ a subject.2 Four kinds of entity emerge from this classification: (i) things that are neither ‘said of nor ‘in’ a subject; (ii) things that are ‘said of a subject but not ‘in’ a subject; (iii) things that are both ‘said of’ a subject and ‘in’ a subject; and (iv) things that are ‘in’ a subject but not ‘said of’ a subject.3
