Status Updates From Categories/De Interpretatione

Finishing De Interpretatione soon. What a great mind Aristotle was!

Ça se lit vite, en vrai, c’est sympa. J’aime bien la clarté sur les propositions (qui est l’essentiel des parties du traité), ça fait réfléchir un peu.

For Aristotle, the statement that good is bad is less wrong than the statement that good is not good, since the former holds only accidentally, whereas the latter is wrong about it as it is in itself

Does possibility follow from necessity? If no, what is necessary is not possible to be or possible not to be, since possibility has to be negated in the follow-up. Discussion of capabilities(such as of being) follows: Possibility applies to changeable becomings only, while actuality admits of being. So, for necessary to be possible there has to be a capability for being, and not just becoming. ahaha

"Here "to be" serves as subject while "to be possible" and "to be admissible are additions-these determining the possible and not possible in the case of "to be", just as in the previous cases "to be" and "not to be" determine the true"

When being becomes subject, it is determined in terms of modality. Also how about statements like "It is possible/necessary/whatever that "Moon is in the sky" is a true statement".

modal sentences can take subjects like "a Man shall be late", the bare form of modality doesn't require anything else besides a grammatical one and can contain the proper sentence as an expression of whole state of affairs, where substance is defined. Like "it is possible that a man shall be late/is walking". In this sense it lies always above the "this". (in finnish you can also just say: IS possible that..!)
