"The Categories" by Aristotle is a foundational philosophical work that examines how we understand and classify the world. The book presents ten categories—such as substance, quantity, and quality—to provide a structure for organizing concepts and properties. Aristotle explores the connections between language and reality, carefully analyzing terms and predicates to understand how they define existence. Through detailed discussions of substance, quality, and opposites, the work emphasizes the importance of definitions.
