Abstract

In his Ars generalis, Ramon Llull introduces the categories as a set of “revealed” principles. While these concepts come from the Aristotelian tradition, they are re-interpreted within the context of theological discourse and the fundamental description of nature. In so doing, Llull develops a new version of the arbor porphyriana and points out another method of defi nition which ignores the genus>species division. However, the invention of Llull’s Art depends on the assimilation of ancient logic by means of medieval Arabic and Latin sources.
