The Categories (1903)

The Categories is a philosophical treatise written by James Hutchison Stirling and first published in 1903. The book is an exploration of Aristotle's theory of categories, which seeks to classify all things in the world into distinct and mutually exclusive categories. Stirling examines Aristotle's ideas in detail and offers his own interpretations and critiques of them. He also discusses the ways in which the theory of categories has been developed and adapted by other philosophers throughout history. The Categories is a dense and challenging work, but it is considered an important contribution to the field of philosophy and continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
