| Abstract | |
This thesis consists of a detailed analysis of excerpts from the book Gamma from Aristotle's Metaphysics, where the author develops his defense of the principle of noncontradiction as well as the distinction between signify one thing and signify about one thing. The argument in defense of the principle claims to prevent beg what was originally at issue giving to the opponent the task of simply saying something (legein ti) with sense. That defense will allow the distinction between the two classes of predication called as signify one thing and signify about one thing, with which Aristotle will may develop what we call a theory of meaning (AU) | |
