This paper purports toshow that it is not necessary to read the early Platonic dialogues starting from the classic theory of Forms. It argues, instead, that it is possibleto analyze them and, above all, to explain the use of the vocabulary of presence starting from the more general and prior possibility of distinguishing a subject from its accidental predicates, especially quality. The relation of present in or being in to which Plato recurs. is inherited by Aristotle. The distinction between being said about something as asubject and being in something as in a subject (Categories 2) seems to be anatural development of Platonic ontology. It is argued that the Aristotelian conception is closer to the earlier than to the intermediate dialogues. |
