Abstract

This paper examines the notion of subject of predication as it is implied in Aristotle’s argument in Posterior Analytics 83a 1-14. I claim that the notion of subject Aristotle develops in that argument is quite different from the notion of subject he advances in Categories, although these notions are far from being incompatible with each other. At the end of this paper I also elucidate some reasons for translating “hupokeimenon” accordingly, as “subject” or as “underlying thing”.
