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”.
