TABAKIAN, Diego. Knowledge and Truth as Relatives in Aristotle's Thought. Rev. latinoam. filos. [online]. 2017, vol.43, n.2, pp.237-262. ISSN 1852-7353.

In the past decades, a number of scholars have argued for opposed interpretations of Aristotle's theory of Truth: they point out that different theorizations for the case of compounds ("predicative truth") and for the case of simples ("ontological truth") are present in the corpus. In this essay, we argue that both cases are connected in one unique theory of truth because they both have the structure of relatives. This interpretive hypothesis is rooted in the texts where Aristotle defines the category of relative (Cat. 7 Metaph. Δ. 15) and where he conceptualizes the natural priority of the knowable towards knowledge (Cat. 12 Metaph. Δ. 15, De an. III 2).

Palabras clave : Aristotle; Truth; Knowledge; Relative.
