Resumen

SANTA CRUZ, María Isabel. Sobre la categoría de relativos en Platón y Aristóteles. Rev. latinoam. filos. [online]. 2012, vol.38, n.1, pp.5-30. ISSN 1852-7353.

Aristotle's Categories was one of the texts read and commented in Medioplatonist and Neoplatonic schools. We have no evidence that Plato developed something as elaborate as the Aristotelian categories, but the Ancients found in the dialogues an advance of them. The available texts and testimonies allowed us to sustain that Plato already made a clear distinction between some of what Aristotle called "categories", at least substance, quality, quantity and relatives. The article pays attention to some aspects of the Aristotelian treatment of the category of relatives and tries to show that in that treatment there are different elements already present in the dialogues of Plato.

Palabras clave : Plato; Aristotle; Categories; Relatives.
