Klasik Mantıkta KategorilerTeorisi

Abstract

This study examines classical logicians' approaches to categories. The problem of categories has always been an issue of discussions through the history of philosophy. Aristotle was one of the earliest who discussed the categories. The discussion of the issue has continued after him. For example, Stoic and Islamic philosophers discussed the categories and put forward some new approaches. In this article Aristotle, Stoic philosophers, Islamic Philosopher, Kant and Ernest von Aster's approaches to the categories will be discussed. Some philosophers, such as Aristotle and Islamic philosophers, consider categories as that which are related to existence. On the other hand, for Stoics and Kant, categories are not related to existence but related to mind.
